Canon 5dMII - Theresa

Sometimes I still shoot with a digital camera... just so I don't forget how to. From my recent shoot with Theresa over at Edgewater Beach.

Polaroid 100 Chocolate - Manchester

As I mentioned last week, when I posted this skyline, I had a recent shoot with a model who was traveling through the area. We did a bunch of the normal digital stuff, and then I shot a bit with my Polaroid 250 and my SX70. Here are a few of the shots from the 250 on expired Polaroid Chocolate... all taken on Edgewater Beach.

Impossible Project PX600 BlackFrame PP - Waldameer!

Erie, PA has one of my favorite places to visit - Waldameer Park and Water World. This is one of those places I used to go as a kid with my entire family. We would camp in Erie every summer, and one day of our vacation we would always spend at Water World riding the water slides. Sometimes, once thoroughly water logged, we would hit the amusement park side of Waldameer for a couple rides and an Elephant Ear. 


I've always been a fan of the americana feel and nostalgia of an amusement park or carnival, and Waldameer is definitely the kind of place that offers up that type of feeling and imagery. At top is the classic amusement park swings that I shot with the Impossible Project PX600 Black Frame on an SX-70. Below, a creepy clown who tops the garbage cans in the area of the park filled with kids rides.
I've always wanted to take some photos in an amusement park and I'm really happy that I got to do it with instant film. Nostalgia deserves analog...

Impossible Project PX600 BlackFrame PP - Cleveland Skyline

I was out after work Wednesday evening doing a quick photo shoot with a traveling model who was in town. We shot along the waterfront for a bit and exhausted the last hour or so of sunlight. I had shot some Impossible PX600 Black Frame from my Poor Pod batch and still had a few frames left in my SX7o while I was heading home. It was just after sunset, not quite dark out yet, so I decided to stop along the way and see what I could get from this film at dusk knowing the SX70 would meter and allow me a longer exposure. It only took one shot to get something I was happy with, and here it is... Beautiful Cleveland Ohio.

Impossible Project PX600 BlackFrame PP - Suspension Bridge

Another shot on the Impossible PX600 Black Frame Poor Pod... this time with no undeveloped patch. 


Once again, this is from my recent travels. The bridge seen here is a beautiful old suspension bridge that spans the river between downtown Cincinnati and a little town called Covington in Kentucky. This was taken from the Covington side of the river with an SX70 Sonar and ND pack filter. Definitely one of my favorites from this film, and from this most recent trip.
