Well, it seems I've fallen in love with something that won't last forever. I simply LOVE playing with my Polaroid camera. I'm far from a master, but its still fun. I think its the limitations. The instant gratification. And the imperfection. The Polaroid I'm using right now doesn't allow me to focus, so I bought an old SX-70 on Ebay that I can focus. I just need to rig it to use the 600 film that's still around.
I was recently asked by a neighbor to illustrate some flashcards she's making of birds native to our area. She's planning on using these to teach young children. I had so much fun doing this! The drawings were done by hand, then manipulated in Photoshop. I'm hoping she'll ask me to do more.
Yes, it has been a long time since I have posted anything here. I have been deeply, deeply sad during the past month. My sister left this earth unexpectedly and this has left me and my family in a state of shock. When the wind gets back into my sails, I will be posting here again. Check my Flickrlink to see a recent visitor to my backyard. He was definitely in a posing mood.
