Drex, you did a great job on your story and pictures. It was very journal-esque and I was drawn into the story and images quickly. You could have posted a whole page to read and I would have been absorbed in it. Great post and being a photography nut I can appreciate your simple approach to good images.

heh, no. but i always considered myself a completely shite photographer. so i attribute everything good that happened with these photos to the camera itself. maybe i’m getting better, though.

It’s funny that this was my week to fall in love with my Wacom all over again.

Also, you seem to have some talent completely independent of the media you use. Not everyone could take those photos with a cheap plastic camera. I may be mistaken, but the film cartridge doesn’t do its own composition.

thank you, kendall. it was such an amazing discovery and an exciting day. now i want one of those polaroids that uses the pull-apart film. the new fuji pull-apart film has amazing colors. and the old polaroid pull-apart film, when you can find it, sometimes does very strange things once it’s expired. which is awesome too.

Drex, that’s what i enjoy about you…always open to new ideas even if they are old ones forgotten. Love the shots. Now you know why I only shot 120 plastic cameras:)

You hit the nail on the head. dreX, when I ate the first egg that was laid by my chickens here in Georgia, I finally realized that without those first, simple steps, we would never be where we are today.

Beautiful images and I am so thankful that you have relished in this experienced. I totally love you!
