Random Polaroid Action

We shot some Polaroids today, and I wanted to share them with you. Yes, one could generate similar effects in Instagram, but it's not nearly as magical or unique as having a print pop out the front of your camera. Enjoy the photos. G'night!











Shot with a folding SX-70 and an ND gel to compensate for the 600 speed Impossible Color film.

'Roid Week 2011

Apparently it's currently Polaroid Week 2011. Which is coincidental in that I had no idea there was such a thing, but yet had snapped off a few Type 600 polaroids through my SX-70 in the past few weeks for fun. I do plan to post larger versions of some of these individual shots of these in the near future, but for now, a mosaic for your viewing pleasure. Click the image to view it large on black.

SX-70, Type 600 film, ND gel taped over lens to adjust speed.

賴尿虫 - Our little Peeing Worm

Tubby is Anita's dad's dog. But by default, we've basically taken to calling him our dog. He's slightly pudgy, a chicken shit, and has a small underbite that makes him look even more mentally challenged than he already is... he's probably got self esteem issues. And apparently bladder control issues, as he's taken up the habit of peeing exclusively on carpet. IN. THE. HOUSE. Frick. He's been given the Chinese nickname of "賴尿虫", which translates roughly to Peeing Worm. But even despite this, he manages to pull off this crazy cute look that makes you forget he just stained the carpet. AGAIN.










I like how he looks like a seal in this shot. Except, you probably didn't even notice that because you can't take your eyes off of Anita's ridiculous Hello Kitty PJs.
