what's new is old again

Recently the boss's daughter got married.  I happened to be there, and while there, I got to take a few pictures with my gorgeous Polaroid 100 Land camera, shot on Impossible Project Film, negatives air dried and later scanned with imperfections.  Love the look.  Reminds me of the old tintypes of yore.  

horses, horses, horses...

This is one of those driving-down-the-road-pull-over-and-take-a-picture moments.  It is a practice I usually don't practice enough of.  This day, I was glad I did.  Taken with expired Impossible Project sepia 100 film.

off interstate 20

It is starting to become some sort of tradition:  When scheduled for pictures at Millsap-bring along an extra camera or two for some great photo ops along the route.  Here is one of them found on the outside of Millsap, right off of interstate 20.  Shot with my Polaroid land camera and Impossible sepia film.

The beauty of instant film.

I think every all-American boy should been able to grow up having a tree house in the backyard.  I every all-American boys' father should be able to have a hammock underneath it.  Perfect.

the living room

In South Louisiana when the weather is right, and even often when it isn't, this is the place that gets more living than the room with the TV in it; and in about 18 hours from right now, that's where I will be-sitting on those Adirondack chairs, drinking on a cup of coffee. Here's a nice shot of that holy place I speak of...the front porch.

farm antiques

On the farm tractors are essential, and when you got a good one you use it 'til its dead. This one is still alive and kickin', though (with most farm equipment) probably needs a little help to get going. The scan of the print is pretty lo-fi, which I don't like, because the vague detail in the shadows of this photo is what gives it its true quality; but hopefully you get the idea.

found art :: paint cans and cabinets

My first foray into the Impossible Project's sepia film made for the 100 Land camera was impressive. I used my first pack, my test pack, on my mom and dad's place out in Greensburg, Louisiana. The house is newly built, but not without it's own history. I stumbled upon this little scene in my dad's work storage room where one can also find several tool boxes, cow show tools, ropes, gas cans, and plenty of bugs.

polaroid series I

Who doesn't love Polaroids? I began a series of Polaroid themed photos when Polaroid announced they'd stop making instant film to give my last few packs of film actual purpose and meaning (that's before I found out about The Impossible Project, but anyway). So here's the first theme: Night Clubs.
