The Puritan Polaroid Project (and a Black Friday sale!)

I just got back from Boston, where I was attending the annual Middle East Studies Association meeting. While I was there, I took a break from academia for a few hours and went to one of my favorite spots in the city, the Old Granary Burial Ground. I am fascinated by the old Puritan and Post-Puritan gravestones, and decided that on this trip, I would take a series of detail photos from some of my favorite markers.

Since it's Thanksgiving, I put them all together today. I hope you like them.

These are some of my favorites from the session. I find this cemetery so haunting, and I feel like I've finally captured something of that feeling with these images.

It's time! This week--2-6 November 2009--is 'Roid Week 2009! It's a biannual Flickr event that celebrates all things instant photography! Everyone may upload up to three new-to-Flickr polaroids per day. It's so fun to see all of the new instant classics uploaded to the pool!

Here's a sneak peak of what I'll be uploading on the first day; I shot these photos of my doggies last weekend as they luxuriated in a hotel, using my Polaroid SX-70 and some sweet 779 film.

Retro Sign Love and Memorial Day Weekend Sale!

If you've looked carefully at my body of work, you know that I love taking photos of cool vintage and retro signs! As a professional historian, I appreciate signs as cultural productions and documentation of human desire, and I want to collect images of as many as possible, before they disappear. As a photographer, I love the aesthetics of sign design. Here are a few of my favorite sign photographs that I've taken over the past few years. I hope you'll enjoy them as much as I do!
