Oh, Polaroid...

I spent this past week organizing my office, and in the piles and piles of proofs, test shots and contact sheets, I found a few more Polaroids I took a while back - just wondering how photography will evolve in the future, I will miss my little faded friends...

Save Polaroid

I have always loved Polaroid film, there is something absolutely great about taking a picture and having it in your hand 30 seconds later. Back in the day, before digital cameras, I used a Polaroid camera to do all my test shots before I wasted a ton of film on overexposed shots. I still have it, it's one of my prized possessions, a constant companion through my journey.

When Polaroid announced it was getting out of the film business, a collective GASP! went out - many photographers make a living turning Polaroids into beautiful art, and sites like Save Polaroid hope to help - http://www.savepolaroid.com/.

I don't know, will 35mm be next? I still shoot film, although not as often, but there is something about really planning a shot, the light, composition and subject that is almost extinct in the digital photoshop age. I believe thinking about your shot makes you a better photographer, rather than keep shooting until you get something you like (or that you will like after all the post processing)...

My Relaxing Weekend

It all started with lots of coffee, then progressed to sugar on top of sugar....

and then I had a blast taking pictures of the DNA Evloution Tour (http://www.dnaevolutiontour.com/) practice runs - here are some of the shots, my new buddy James McCotter ended up winning - congrats!

Mini-vacation

I love mini-vacations, recharge the batteries and start the week fresh - still shooting every day, will be posted next week, but now it's time to shut off the crackberry, computer and phone... hope you're having an awesome weekend!
