Floridian Landscapes


Florida is full of water and reptiles. Here are two diptychs of Floridian Landscapes from a recent trip back to the place where I lived between 2001 and 2006. I hope you enjoy them.


What Central Florida Looks Like to Me
This is the St. John's River, which, like the Nile, flows north. Sitting upon the river is this classic "cracker" fishcamp, which serves some good fried gator and cold beer on hot days.


A Floridian Swamp
Want to know what rotting plant matter smells like? Look no further than Florida!

Both diptychs were taken using a Polaroid SX-70 camera and expired Polaroid Artistic TZ film.

The Last Day of 'Roid Week!

It's the last day of 'Roid Week at Flickr, and to celebrate, I uploaded these final instant images to the pool!


Cobwebbed Cross (2009)

Film: Polaroid 600 (expired, with ND Pack filter)
Location: St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church, Fort Worth, Texas, USA
I came across a beautiful, derelict Orthodox Church in Fort Worth, yesterday. Built in 1917, the parish has relocated, but the building remains, in stunningly beautiful and decaying glory.

I just love the golden light shining the fall palette on us right now. It won't last much longer!

'Roid Week at Flickr has been amazing! I made a little gallery of some of my favorite submissions by other photographers, and you can check it out here. Vive instant photography!

The Grand Canyon, Part I

Have you ever been to the Grand Canyon? I went for the first time this summer, and its vastness and beauty was truly humbling! Until my analogue photos are all scanned, here are a few digital photos for you...

Many more to come! You can see a few of the many Polaroids I shot in my Flickr...
