Wow, I’m blowing through polaroid film this week like it’s going out of style (or maybe just being discontinued).
Have you seen the Save Polaroid site? They have a survey up, go take it.
One thing that makes me really sad about the end of instant Polaroid Film is all the stuff I wanted to do, but will never get the chance. I’ve always wanted to try emulsion transfer with polaroid, and there are so many different types of cameras and films that I never got to use. I’m still trying to get over the end of joycam and i-zones :(


I came up with the idea to make some polaroid buttons like this one and will hopefully add them to the shop soon, so keep an eye out for those.

Here is today’s polaroid picture for Polaroid Week 2008. This is the notorious Nikki, who is just about to go through 2 months of high intensity chemo. This is a young woman who took pride in her long, beautiful, blonde wavy hair. When it was lost in her innitial rounds of chemo she was pretty broken hearted about it. Now, in this period between when it has grown back in a bit, and right before it will be all lost again, she decided to have some fun and dye it hot pink. Check out her caring bridges page here: www.caringbridge.org/visit/nicholewilliams. I love this picture so much, as it really shows her vivacious personality and just how truly beautiful she is.
All of your continued positive thoughts and prayers are appreciated.
