I was once many things, but now I am only several

Check out my new baby:
I found him (or her? I'm not sure yet.) at a used book sale on campus. He has no film and is dusty and old but he is gorgeous, isn't he?

So...anyone know where I can get film for a B-2 Sureshot?
eh?

Ebay had better not let me down this time...I can't wait to experiment!
Here are some pictures taken over the course of the past year with my old polaroid:
The road just in front of my house.

Gorgeous cherry blossoms from a college visit.


I love this one because it makes me think of a tidal wave of flowers




New York from the top of the Rockefeller. Yeah, yeah, I'm a tourist....




Evergreen fingers





Friend throwing helicopter seeds. This makes me miss summer...and my friends...
I love my polaroid. I've heard that the new company producing polaroid film will start selling sometime in 2010...until then, my camera will be asleep on my shelf.


I also picked this up at the book sale


I've never really studied photographers, other than Ansel Adams, but I seriously love Mr. Uelsmann's work.




The Photographer's Eye, 1967


His photos are so natural looking, but then also so ethereal. I got chills when I first looked through the book, the photos were so intense.


Poet's House, 1965




Untitled, 1966

It almost makes me think of an old science fiction movie, or a dream



A Moment I Do Not Remember, 1967





Memory and the Sun, 1966



Me in my dorm window, and my new camera...any suggestions for a name? Or a gender, for that matter? My polaroid's name is Bradley.


Love

  2. Uhm, I think the camera looks like a "he" and he should be named Charlie because that would be awesome :) Looks great! If you wanna know what type of film to buy my suggestion would be to take him to a camera place and they can answer all your questions & see if it still works as well! :D Have fun!
