Probably have overdone the flag photos now, but they are so rich and colorful that it is hard not to keep taking and posting them. I have one of Maci on my iPhone blog, I have the 8x10 Impossible color image that I took of Tyler on my instant blog and now this one that was taken with my Fuji x100s. This particular flag is displayed on the side of a business near downtown Greenville. I know that given time, it will become a victim of the elements. Like many things, I wanted to capture the photo before it changes or disappears. It is probably obvious, but that is the reason we take many of our photos. This one has now been captured in all of it's glory...
Back in November I expanded my camera collection to include a few Polaroid cameras. Since that time, my interest in shooting with the Polaroid has increased even more than my collection has grown. Seems that I can't quit taking the pictures (or buying the film from The Impossible Project). On this trip to Seattle, I took two Polaroid cameras (SX70 and 250 Pack Film) and my Leica M8. The M8 was a last minute add because I chickened out on only taking Polaroid cameras. However, most of my pictures were taken with the SX70. Honestly, I got a few amazing shots with this camera that I never could have taken with any other camera. The only down side is that the SX70 got me a full pat down by a TSA agent (that is a separate item to blog on later).
I should have the Polaroids up by the end of the week on my instant film blog. In the mean time, I used the Leica to document the travels of the SX70 (the Leica of the Polaroid world)...
