Holgaroid fun with the peerless Type 85 film

I really fell in love with Polaroid's Type 85 film. Of course, they cancelled production after I shot my first pack. I scored three additional packs after that, and I still have one left, sitting, longingly, in the fridge. I hope to be brave enough to shoot it soon. Last July, I went out into the countryside near my home here in North Texas and shot two of my favorite Type 85 photos. These are scans from the positives. I adore the way that the expired emulsion created a bit more mystery in these photographs, as well as the framing created by the Holga's stark vignetting.

i met some cows today. (2007)

"The cows got out!"

Earlier this evening, my husband went out to make a quick run to the supermarket, and he called me after only being gone for a few minutes to say, "I'm over here on the corner, and the cows got out!" The cows live just a bit down the road from us, and apparently, there were four of them, including a small calf, in the street! Luckily, they seem to have found their way back into their field, but it reminded me of this photo I took last summer of one of these cows. I think they are a very beautiful bunch of bovine, that's for sure!
