From the moment that Polaroid announced back in February 2008 that they were going to cease manufacturing their instant print film, people began to hoard what they could find. I was just into the second month of a project called Polaroid 366 when the news broke and did what I could to stave off the bitter end.
The future is a bit brighter now as we have the Impossible Project working on alternatives for our SX-70 and 600 cameras, but with each shot of now defunct film, I know I’m that much closer to the end of an era.
If shoes were my thing, I could have a pretty decent collection. Film tickles my fancy just that much more.

I’d run out to pick up a set of keys from Aaron and spied this truck on 16th Street. The iPhone photo was first and then I ran back to the car to grab the SX-70. I’m still getting my head around the new PX 70 film, but I think that this particular image looks more like a painting than a photograph.
If you’re using the Impossible Project film and aren’t using Beppe Bolchi’s cardboard lightshield, you should give it a shot. Scroll down on this page to “Shade Your Color Shade.”

I wish that I’d have the foresight to save more than a few of the dark slides from my stockpile of expired Polaroid 600 film because I now have a plan. With a wee bit of cross stitching, card stock and rubber cement, I’m turning this by-product of my ongoing Polaroid adventures into greeting cards.
Granted, I have been been ill and this all could be a crazy plan spun out of my drug-addled brain, but so far, I’m having a good time. My first three endeavors are now available on Etsy for my ukulele fund.

My fingers are covered with a myriad of little tiny scratches after meeting the Oates boys today. Granted, their rambunctious play was of my own making and Sixty & Niner (!!!) can’t be blamed. There really is nothing like a couple of kitties to lift the weight of the world from your shoulders. You can view more kitty goodness (including video) here.
