Lost Marbles Found

Polaroid SX-70 / Polaroid Time-Zero (expired)

The replacement of our crappy single paned windows and the preceding “move everything three feet away” gave way to yesterday’s wee “potter”. I managed to make great headway in beating back the drifts of crap in my office closet, tossing and/or recycling stuff that moved from important to “why in the hell did I think I needed to keep this.” I found this handful of marbles squirreled away in a hideous X-Men tin that was once a most treasure possession. Most are quite old, a gift from my step-father a few lifetimes ago. Do they make thin square vases? I’d like to find some better way to display them against the light.

Three eucalyptus leaves

Polaroid SX-70 / Polaroid Time-Zero (expired)

Earlier in the year Derek trimmed back an aggressive vine in our backyard. I saved a few, weaving them into circles and placing them around a pint glass to dry. Needless to say, they’re dry now. I want to take a few more images and then send the circles to escher.

Polaroid SX-70 / (Expired) Polaroid Time-Zero film

Anniebee sent me a pack of Polaroid Time-Zero film that expired in July of 2003. It’s very bittersweet, and I’m pretty sure that this will be the last pack of time-zero that I’ll have the pleasure of shooting. The image is so velvety and I was immediately fell in love with instant photography all over again.

‘Roidweek 2010 Fall – Washington Square Park

Polaroid 680 SLR / Expired Polaroid 600 Black & White film

Two from a wee stash of photos taken during our recent trip to New York. A big chunk of Washington Square Park is currently fenced off for improvements. If anything, it only gives the squirrels a chance to flee from their canine foe.

If you’re into instant photography and feel like sharing, check out ‘Roid Week 2010. It’s only been a few hours and the contributions are fabulous. Even better, the good folk at the Impossible Project are giving away their beautiful film to two participants daily.
