Looking forward to the Instant Film Show on Thursday night at the 540 bar in SF. I have 5 Polaroids in it. Others in the show include lots of friends from the monthly San Francisco and Sonoma County instant photo walks.

Redwood Airs: Last Saturday marked the 20th anniversary of my move to California from where I spent most of my life in New England. This double exposure of redwoods is from my archives, a contemplation on the passage of time

Spectral Flip: Tried taping some Spectra filters to the new Polaroid Flip camera on Sunday’s SF Instant Photowalk. Here are a few examples. Will anyone have a 3D printed holder in time for this week’s PolaCon NYC? If not, certainly not long after that, right?

Worked great as a quick portrait camera on Day 1. I plan to try some gel and taped on filter hacks at today’s SF Instant Photowalk in Golden Gate Park 🤞

Time Zero in Santa Cruz: I stumbled upon a pack of one of my fave expired Polaroid films and it worked pretty well in the I-2 camera. I understand why some would wonder why I like TZ so much, but it’s unique color shift and artifacts make it highly sought by PolaNerds

In time for Cinco de Mayo, these huge sculptures from Oaxaca landed at Yerba Buena Gardens in SF. I shot these with Polaroid’s I-2 camera - ‘The Dog’ by Adrián Cuana, ‘The Cat Nahuatl’ by Angélico Jiménez and ‘Catbird’ by Leonardo Linares.
