polaroid PIC 1000 ...

A polaroid of my family circa 1980

Check out these two articles about the Polaroid PIC 1000. One of the articles, in part, states "Polaroid will offer a completely redesigned, modern version of the Polaroid OneStep camera .... The new classic PIC 1000 camera and instant color film will be available at national retailers in 2010." Looks like Polaroid film is making a come back! At least a small one.

Though the advent and availability of digital cameras has seemingly wiped away any allure that Polaroid's "instant" cameras once held. I am still rooting for them. I hope that people snap them up and relish the modern version of this classic camera!

Saturday drive — 02.20.2010

This couple, in their adorable little convertible, cruised along the road in front of me yesterday. Though the photo is not the greatest technically, the lack of sharp focus and glare from the windshield of my car are bothersome, I still really like it. It makes me smile. : )

I saw these sweet flowers peeking out of the ground today, decided they needed a little photo session.

You talkin' to me? — 08.01.2008

I just love this little guy! Found it today when looking through some old files, it's from way back in 2008. A first I didn't even remember shooting it. Then it hit me, this little bird was chattering up a storm at people as they walked by. None of us could figure out what he wanted. I watched him for a while, he didn't seem to be in need of help. In the end it really seemed like maybe he just wanted some attention.

fun giveaway ...

I wanted to pass the word about a super cute epicurean apron giveaway at Redhead Recipes. If you have a chance, take a look — and you might as well browse around at the recipes while you're there. The photos will probably make you hungry. : )
