Roid Week Spring 2010

Just a quick post and slide show of my Roid Week shots. Had fun with it, this was the first time I participated. Managed to use 5 different Polaroid cameras, 2 SX-70 Sonars, 340 & 450 cameras and a Spectra SE. Films shot: ATZ, Chocolate, PX100 FF, Spectra Platinum, Silk 125i and Fuji 3000B. Next time I may stick with one format instead. It was great to see so much other great Polaroid imagery in the flickr roidweek2010 pool, really inspiring stuff. Should definitely check it out.

Back in Ojai

Went to the wonderful little town of Ojai, about 90 minutes north of L.A. for a long weekend with my wife. Got a chance to do some wandering, good eating and some picture taking, as well as finally trying out some chocolate type 100 peel apart film. I really like the quality of it. Warm and creamy tones and pretty sharp considering there is some texture to it. More posts coming soon from this trip, I did some SX-70 shots with my "new" SX-70 Sonar and a bunch of Holga shots (still need to get processed).

Did some head shots for my friend Julia a couple of weeks ago. This was one of the shots for me. I think I had the portrait kit on. Impressed by the sharpness of the film.

New Old Roads

An actual small town moment. I pulled over to take this picture, the climbing road perspective and crossing power lines caught my eye. Its a side road that doesn't usually get much traffic. I put my hazards on, stepped out and waited a couple of minutes for a utility truck to pass, took the shot (could have sworn that I had framed it better), got back in and just then a car pulled along side. Was expecting a hey watch out or something like that. It was an older man asking if I needed help. Smiled and told him no thanks, was just taking a picture and he proceeded to tell me that I could go over the hill and make a left to get to some great viewpoints. Thought, wow, how nice. I hardly recall any moments like that, and I grew up here.
