Black & White

Polaroid SLR 680 / Expired Polaroid 600 Black & White film

It’s bittersweet to fall in love with a film that is no more. Anniebee gifted me a couple of packs of this black and white film while we were in New York last week. What I really want to do is rip through the packs like it’s 1999. Common sense has prevailed and I’m taking the time to enjoy my temporarily monochrome world.

We’re getting the band back together

Have you seen the new face of 10/10/10? We’ve launched a groovy new interface that lets you browse 10 of the 2,100+ contributions at a time. If you haven’t had an opportunity to share your October 10th photo, you have until October 20th to do so.

A big thanks to Aaron Straup Cope and George Oates for coding and design. I haven’t had this much fun since we all worked together at Flickr.

Remembering

My mother lost her battle with cancer on this day twenty eight years ago. I still very much miss that we never got to know one another as adults. Next year, I’ll be the same age that she was when she died. She had so much more life to live.

Matchbox Pinhole

Taking pictures with any pinhole camera is a leap of faith and one created where you’ve pushed a needle through a piece of a Diet Coke can, and stuck to a matchbox even more so. I picked up the first roll shot with the camera I created over the weekend and was pleasantly surprised. You should totally make your own: http://matchboxpinhole.com/.
