In which I bought an instant camera I don’t need but have coveted for years! It’s here! Good job hitting that 8PM delivery time, USPS! (I don’t know why you offer 8PM delivery, but you do, so, well done.) I already own instant cameras, of course, classic Polaroids of various models, but peel-apart film no […]
In which my favorite camera is now basically useless. I haven’t been shooting film much since I moved out here, but no worries: take the camera out of the box, put in some fresh film, maybe a battery, and go shoot. Your cameras are already antiques; they won’t mind if you let them rest for […]
In which it’s a lazy Sunday. It’s so shitty outside there’s a heat warning on! Stay inside, stay hydrated, check on your neighbors, that sort of thing! Temperature in the mid-90’s with a heat index of one hundred degrees! A big-ass line of storms tonight! Large hail possible! So I’m staying inside with the A/C […]
In which there’s a video. Apropos of nothing is this amazing Polaroid video! Don’t even get me started on the soundtrack. It’s, like, Star Trek-er-iffic.
In which there’s a whole new type of Polaroid in my collection! This camera takes a kind of film that is no longer being made, the remainder of which is all expired and which costs between $2 and $7 per shot. So naturally, I shot an entire pack of it in the bar last night.
In which Charlie just ups and gives me a whole entire box of old cameras. So this happened yesterday: That’s four Polaroids! And a Kodak! And three packs of Spectra! OMFG!
In which I tell you all I know about the Polaroid SX-70! I have two SX-70s. One is a lovely silver and leather top-shelf SLR, and the other is a black plastic Model 3 (the non-SLR model). I’m lucky in that I got them both really cheap, and they both function beautifully and close completely. […]
In which I tell you about the gifts I received. For Christmas I got a Kindle gift certificate (yay moar ebooks!), a red goblet, candy (some of it filled with tequila, I kid you not!), a hand-made tote bag, cash, and a little herb garden kit. I really wanna buy myself some sort of shiny […]
In which there was culture! But it was pretty redneck, so not really. Saturday night, Left Coast Girlie and I went to see a play at Fort Walla Walla, which is an outdoor amphitheater near the local museum. The play was Taming of the Shrew, which I wanted to see because I played Kate in […]
