Today I wanted to share a couple polaroids that I’ve taken in the past.

I love polaroids. It’s very sad to see them be discontinued, and I hope another company picks them up. I have a few packs left and truly love using my vintage SX-70 with selective focus to create some one of a kind photographs.

The two below were taken at least a year apart. The blue one was taken of the sky through the window of my moving car. I was driving and positioned the SX-70 on my steering wheel and pushed the button. The other one was taken at my friend Jillian’s house. She put these clips on the wall to hold up instant photos they were printing at a party. I like the simple composition.

You can see some more of my favorite polaroids at my flickr page as well.

Do you have any special attachments to Polaroids or a favorite Polaroid of yours or someone else’s?

Here are some of the photos of Shelbie and Gerardo. They were super easy to photograph and the light was gorgeous up on the mountain.

Here’s a list of the vendors once again:

There is also a polaroid included. Watch for it.

Yesterday was Super Monday put on by PPA. I had the immense pleasure of attending a one day workshop with the one and only Jose Villa. I have admired his work since I started wedding photography and was happy to meet him again yesterday. He was extremely free with is knowledge of the industry and how he got where he is now. He just received a huge honor of having one of his photos featured on the cover the latest issue of PDN.

Jose offers 3 day workshops in Mexico and there will be 2 in November. I want to go very very very badly. I hope I can swing it before it totally fills up. Check it out here: http://www.josevillaworkshops.com/

In the afternoon he took us to 2 locations with 3 models. Today I’m featuring the uber gorgeous Lacie and tomorrow I will show off Shelbie and Gerardo, who played the wedding couple.

Lacie is Jose’s assistant and will be graduating from Brooks in October. She was super sweet during the shoot and really made all our pictures gorgeous. I can’t wait to see what everyone else created.

I brought along my SX-70 and some 600 film and took these two of Lacie before we got started. See, isn’t she so pretty! I love how soft the light was and the beautiful selective focus of the SX-70.

I am back in my office today working on a million and one things, but I had to just post this polaroid I took with my SX-70 and 600 pola film on Saturday before I met up with Kumi and Jeff.  I was lounging up against my car looking up at this fire escape when I heard a shuffling of feet.  I looked down and to my left and the man below was walking up this hill carrying his groceries.  I took this shot as he passed me and I don’t know if he noticed or heard me.  As I was taking the Polaroid out of the camera, I looked back up the hill and he was gone.  I have no idea where he went so fast, maybe into a store, but I was so thankful to have been there in that moment.  This is why I love photography.

Yesterday I enjoyed a day off with my daughter Nikki. We ran some errands and went to the park to play. I brought along my SX-70 camera loaded with 600 film and had some fun. Here are a couple.
