149.365 (Chugging Away)

(Monday, 29 March 2010) Thought I’d use this HO scale Canadian Pacific locomotive for some more practice with the close-up attachment for my Polaroid SX-70 Land Camera.

147.365 (Zoo)

(Saturday, 27 March 2010) One of the pillars to the former entrance of Ross Park Zoo, in Binghamton, New York.

145.365 (Land 230)

(Thursday, 25 March 2010) This Model 230 Land Camera is one of my favorites in my Polaroid collection. I used my other favorite—the SX-70—to capture it on film.

142.365 (Renaissance)

(Monday, 22 March 2010) Today was a special day. Not because the ice has almost completely melted off the lake or that it marked the one year anniversary of posting my first photo to Flickr. Rather it was the exciting news that came out of New York: The Impossible Project has successfully reinvented instant integral film! Funny thing is, I didn’t even own a single Polaroid camera when the ice formed on the lake. Today I own fifteen. I am so grateful to have been introduced to this medium and I am even more grateful that The Impossible Project will allow me to indulge in it even more.

136.365 (Spring Diptych)

(Tuesday, 16 March 2010) A couple weeks ago I found a really great deal on a few SX-70 accessories. Today, I tried the close-up attachment for the first time. The afternoon sun was shining pretty brightly on my flowerbed, so I dialed the exposure level down a couple notches. Thought it developed a little darker, so tried the same shot again with the dial centered.

133.365 (Rabbits • Hares • Deer)

(Saturday, 13 March 2010) So the Deluge of O-Ten provided us with the perfect excuse to visit the American Museum of Natural History. It was the first opportunity I’ve taken to really use my SX-70 indoors. This one of the “Mammals of New York” exhibit turned out better than most of the others. (There is no such thing as a wasted Polaroid, but I came close with a couple of the shots…)

11//52 (Brunch)

(Saturday, 13 March 2010) Had Saturday morning brunch with some friends at Philip Marie’s in the West Village. We scored a table right by the window, which was perfect for watching people vainly attempting to use umbrellas during the Deluge of O-Ten. After using two frames to get this shot, decided I needed to stop by the International Center of Photography Gift Shop to pick up another pack of ATZ film. I’m glad that a)I was in a city where I could actually find Polaroid film and b)that ICP was on our way Uptown.
