This film expired 26 years ago and there seemed to be some color shift. Adobe Photoshop seemed to help that problem.

8 Buses

A row of school buses parked for the summer at our local grade school. I didn’t think I’d ever get to use this camera, because they haven’t made the special type of film it takes in probably 50 years. But, I noticed the shutter worked, even without batteries, so I cut down some 120 film, positioned it carefully where I thought it should be, (in total darkness, of course!), and then shot with it. For the first attempt, I’m really pleased with how it turned out. Now I can mark off another camera in my collection that I’ve used. My goal is to be able to say I’ve used every camera in my collection - all 267 of them.

Taken with my hundred and twenty-sixth camera. This image is not cropped, I simply scanned it to all the edges. It turned out the same dimensions as a 35mm negative, so I suppose that’s the shape the original instant prints must have been.

Diane And The Steak Sandwich

HaarFager has posted:

We were at the Sonic having dinner and I just got the instant film in today, so of course I had to shoot a picture of something. What better subject than Diane and her steak sandwich? I picked up this camera at a Goodwill shop for $2 and have had it for about 15 years. This is the first chance I’ve had to shoot with it. I saw where these same exact used cameras were going for upwards of $130 on the internet right now – I’m glad I got mine early and paid only $2 for it.

The Eighties Called And They Want Their Hair Back

This weekend was our town's local street fair/fall festival and the museum we have downtown that specializes in the history of our town, (Norris City), was open for the occasion. One of the people that manage the museum is named Ludene Taylor. Mrs. Taylor was the local high school's art teacher until she retired; and she taught me art back in the 1970s. I happened to bump into her this past week and she asked me to come to the museum, as she had some photographs for me. She said she's 89 now and wanted to make sure the pictures she took through the years of all her art classes wouldn't get thrown away after she passed on. So, she gave them all to me. There was a whole tote's worth of pictures! I felt quite honored that she chose me to be entrusted with them. But then, I am kind of the local photographer around town and everybody knows that.

I'm still going through them, and although a lot of them are of students that came after me and I don't know who they are, I've been scanning some that are interesting. Such as this one. I don't know who the two girls are, but they look like they're dressed for Homecoming. I scanned this Polaroid image and cleaned it up because it was a little faded and scratched. I'm fairly certain it was taken in the mid- to late-1980s. The hair is a dead giveaway.

Taken today, December 25th, 2017. This is my sister and her boyfriend standing in front of my Christmas tree. I took it with my Polaroid Colorpack II and Fuji FP-100c instant film. I used an old Westinghouse flash cube to light my image. After all these years, it still worked fine! The camera was made from 1969 to 1972, with earlier models like mine having a real glass lens.

I was out shooting with several different cameras yesterday and came upon this statue late in the afternoon. The lighting was perfect as the sun was just setting. It's a statue dedicated to children who died young. Surrounding the statue are individual bricks, each dedicated to a child who has died. Some of the words on the bricks were quite touching and sentimental.
