I Heart and Miss Polaroid

 

I'm really sad that some of my favourite Polaroid stocks are discontinued. I miss color Type 79 :(  Type 55 4x5 Polaroid (positive and negative instant film) is totally out of stock and no longer being made. I just noticed bids are being placed on Ebay averaging $200 a box! (The regular price was about $65 per box for 20 sheets.) And this Polaroid is expired, dating back to 2005! What has happened to the world? Polaroid is beautiful. Here is some inspiration from Polaroids I've shot over the last 10 years..

More from San Francisco!

Getting ready to go to California again in June for a wedding shoot has inspired me to put up more from Howard and Vanessa's San Fran wedding in January... A month ago I posted this sneak preview.

Julie's Chocolate Crinkles

Sneak preview from yesterday's food shoot with Julie Quon and Emily Thompson: A Crinkle is a little fudgey chocolate cookie. Delicioso!  

More photos to post after this busy wedding weekend.  Have a great one! : )
