Polaroid Week, Part 2.1

Don't Fence Me In

Polaroid Week, Part 1.2

Polaroid Week, Part 1.1

It's that time of year again, everyone! 'Roid Week! Whoooo! I'll be posting my favorites over on Flickr, but also some of them here, as well! I love 'Roid Week, and Polaroids in general!!

"Café"

Shake it!

I love Modcloth! Look at this wonderful necklace! Looks just like a Polaroid 600 camera, and it actually opens and closes, too! So fun!

Not So Impossible After All!

Well, they've done it! The masterminds behind the Impossible Project have made the impossible possible...they have officially succeeded in bringing back instant film! No, they're not making the same old Polaroid film...they've actually created their very own version, which will be available for sale on March 25. You'd better believe I'll be lining up (virtually, of course!) to buy some! Right off the bat, they're starting with a wonderful monochrome film in 2 versions, one compatible with 600 cameras and one compatible with SX-70s. I've seen some of the test shots, and they're...well, just amazing. If you haven't checked out the Impossible Project's new site, I highly recommend doing so!

And, in honor of the continued life of instant photography as a valid...and thriving!...artform, here is a little mosaic of some of my very favorite Polaroid photos from Flickr. Enjoy!

'Roid Week, Days 2 and 3

A bit late uploading these, but here are my 'Roid Week shots from Tuesday and Wednesday!

Tuesday: Hello!



Wednesday: In the Stacks

Happy 'Roid Week!

It's 'Roid Week on Flickr again! For those who haven't heard, it's a week celebrating everyone's favorite instant gratification...Polaroids! So for the week, I'll be hauling both my Polas with me wherever I go, and shooting up a storm


The above is actually my Roid Week shot from yesterday, but I only just scanned it and uploaded.

It was shot using a Polaroid Pronto B and Artistic TZ film from Polapremium. I think I got a pack of film on its last legs, though. Nothing really seems to be coming out too well...but I guess that's part of the fun!

Just 'cause

Just 'cause I love him, and I'm thinking of him, and because he's so adorable when he's sleeping...my very own Sleeping Beauty, though I'm sure he'd prefer to be called my Prince Charming.

Polaroid Week, Day Four

Okay, this one is a day behind, as well. All of the shots I took yesterday were actually with the Fuji Instax, not my Polaroid. I'll take at least one with the actual Polaroid today, as my final entry in 'Roid Week. Enjoy!

Polaroid Week, Day Three

I'm uploading this a day late because I just didn't have it in me to post yesterday afternoon, ha! But this is yesterday's shot for 'Roid Week!



Also, my wonderful husband bought me a gift yesterday! I was talking about how Polaroid film is so expensive that it's kind of not worth buying more film after my last pack is done and how some of my contacts on Flickr use the FujiFilm Instax camera instead of Polaroids. I was thinking of getting one of those, just for the fun of instant film without quite so much expense.

Well, the wonderful man went straight to his office after we had this conversation, researched the Instax, and bought me one with overnight shipping! So now I have a fun new toy! And, uh, wow...the camera looks all small and cute in the pictures, but dude...it's the size of my head! :-O

My first shot with the Instax had to be a portrait of my honey, of course!
