A photographer-friend was showing me some of the shots that he was taking with an old Polaroid 350 Land Camera (circa 1970) and I just had to rush out and acquire one of my own. It took me a few packs of film to grasp how the camera works (including how to load the huge film packs) and how to gain control of the images that I was producing, but I finally got the knack and I’m loving this thing. I’ve been carrying it around with me for the past two weeks and snapping photos here and there. I also took the camera on my road trip to Arizona and was able to convince one of the models that I was shooting to let me photograph her with it.

I scanned a few of my favorite prints and included them below. You’ll notice some subtle differences in the representation of colors, which is from my experimentation with different film types. I know that this is a little different, so I am anxious to hear what people who like my other work think of them.
