Over the last few months I have been obsessing over Polaroids. Sure, when they were new I could care less but now that I know they are no longer making them I had to have one. I chose the SX-70 as it is the same model my father used to photograph me as a child. Those nudes have long since been burned, but I still have the camera. It was long ago broken by my hands as a child. I was going to fix it but it turns out it is cheaper to buy a new one. I purchased my new one for $100 off some guy on craigslist. Did you know that this camera was $300 in 1972. That works out to like $15,000 in today's dollars. I have had my camera for a few weeks now and am really beginning to realize I have zero talent but at least I look cool taking pictures. Such an artsy douche.
This photo was taken using SX-70 TZ Artistic manipulable film. I haven't figured out how to move the emulsion yet.

Airedales and Defenders? Awesome! Yes, I live in LA. Saw a sweet green one on 7th, just West (North) of Wilshire on Wednesday...
