I feel much more comfortable behind the camera than in front of the camera. One of the challenges of being the photographer at family events is that I am rarely in pictures – this is something that I’m going to work on in 2010!

In the meantime, I’m happy just admiring it! ++++++++++ Don’t forget to sign up for my newsletter – December issue will be...
“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captures forever…. it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.” ~ Aaron Siskind
Sometimes I forget that what we call “vintage” was once brand new. I love the story it tells, the journey it has been on, the hands it has passed through…. +++++++++++++++ Please visit Yvette and I over at One Inspiration, Two Perspectives today!
The start of November proves to be quite busy for me – how about you? Find me this week over on Flickr for ‘Roid week ’09! I’ll be posting a polaroid each day this week on my stream (and you may see a couple here as well)! Also, did you get a chance to sign...

“All of life is a journey~ which paths we take, what we look back on, and what we look forward to is up to us. We determine our destination, what kind of road we will take to get there, and how happy we are when we get there.“

I’m home. Extremely tired, but so full from my trip! I have a stack of polaroids to scan and almost 8GB of photos to process. Italy is, quite simply, beautiful. The shot above was taken with my vintage polaroid in Venice, Italy shortly before sunset. More soon…..
My bags are packed! My husband and I are off for a few days in Europe. We’ll spend a day in London visiting family, then some time alone in Italy! I have been looking forward to this trip for quite some time – and the reason I was on the hunt for more polaroid...
This old Coca Cola ice box sits outside of one of my favorite boutiques. For some reason, I never noticed it before – but on this day, I couldn’t help but capture it.
I purchased a vintage Polaroid Sun 660 Land camera on ebay for $20. A trip to local CVS store (they had only 4 packs of instant 600 film left), and I am set. This is my first polaroid – I have so much to learn, but at $2 a picture (each pack was $20 for...
I stumbled upon these handwritten letters a little while ago. They were hidden in an old box in a local consignment shop. I was instantly drawn towards them, as I am with most vintage finds. They are brown, brittle, and dated 1931 – 1934. My initial goal was to scan them – to use them...
Can’t quite put a finger on why I have had the Holga for 4 weeks and haven’t given it spin! This weekend, I think it’s about time to change that. I’ll be putting my DSLR down and picking up actual film… I can’t think of a better way to welcome the month of May!
