Blue Dress Session

Today’s offering: The traditional film photos that were taken along side the instant photos I did of Mallory few weeks ago. 

Square images taken with Hasselblad 500 C/M, Rectangular images taken with Pentaz ZX-7

4+4

One pack of Impossible Project PX 70 film = 8 images
8 images divided by two SX-70 cameras = 4 images each

I happily picked up more NIGO edition PX 70 Color Shade from The Impossible Project when they restocked this {limited edition} film. Being limited in availability, I wanted to make sure each exposure counted! I put the pack of film into my newer-to-me, original model Polaroid SX-70 camera. After a coupla shots, I discovered that this camera was over-exposing the photos, which produced a more “dreamy” effect. Not that there’s anything wrong with that…

 

I decided after the first four exposures that I wanted to try the rest of the film cartridge in my SX-70 Sonar model, since I’m more familiar with its exposure tendencies.  So I did a little magic trick and *alakazam* the remaining NIGO film was in the Sonar SX-70!

I enjoy the differing results from the two different cameras. How about you?

I’m so excited, y’all! I had a bridal portrait session with a beautiful young woman named Hope over the weekend. I took a few different cameras along with me to this photo shoot, including my most recent acquisition, the Polaroid Sun 660.  Since posting photos of Hope in her wedding dress would warrant a “spoiler alert” for her groom-to-be, I shan’t share the results of that session until after the wedding (I’m shooting that too! Yay!) All I can show you for the time being is this photo I took Sunday, on the grounds where the wedding will take place in a couple of weeks. I’m super happy with the results of the aforementioned bridal photos of Hope and can’t wait til I can post ’em up here!

Land of Grace {TCB}

This was a sunny spring break afternoon spent walking around Graceland Plaza. We didn’t go to the mansion itself, but this served as a way of introducing my niece to Graceland. She loved it. She held my hand, asked me questions about Elvis, picked out TCB items she wanted from the gift shop, and talked of planning a trip to the mansion with her Papa (my dad.) These photos are memories from one of our perfect days together. ♥
