More Polaroids From Our Test Shoot

Highs and Lows

So yesterday my friend Jamie and I did a test shoot for our portfolios (her styling book and my photogrpahy). We collected an enormous amount of colorful "stuff." I will say for as much as I like white stuff, I like colorful stuff equally as much. The shots looked really great, and it felt amazing to be working towards a goal (less styling jobs/more photography jobs). The sad part was trying to shoot digitally. I rented a canon 5d, as many photographer friends of mine have claimed that it gets the job done. Well, I'm not sold. It seems as if digital kind of robs the photo of any mood. That's also probably because I don't know what I am doing and I have relied so heavily on the polaroid to create my "mood." I cried for the first time last night thinking about the end of polaroid. I think I have been in a bit of denial about it. I will be very, very sad when it is gone. The happiness that film brings me is beyond words. It's like it takes what I see and coats it with pixie dust. Now I just need andrew to come up with some digital pixie dust to sprinkle on my new photos. I'll keep you posted. I guess I always do, huh.?

White, again? I know.

It is an addiction. I am completely aware of that. I did give you some colored eggs for easter.

White on White

I do love color, don't get me wrong, but if I could only shoot one thing it would be white on white. It is an addiction, and I have no intention of seeking a cure.

What do you think?

I did a little photo test this weekend. Tried to add some different emotions into my images. I figured whiskey always helps with emotion, right?

sunday morning

in spite of the fact that polaroid is shutting down (don't worry, i have a lot of film), i still think today is going to be a good day. this shot captures my mood.

white rose

the rain we had destroyed all of our roses. thankfully i have this polaroid to remind me how lovely they were.

white is the new black

just a random collection of whiteness.

a lotta little tokyo

little tokyo

i spent a lot of time this weekend reading blogs and being inspired. i came across a lot of images from japanese books and magazines that i loved! so i took a trip down to little tokyo to buy myself some books. i bought a lot! i also bought these shoes, a vase, some dishes, bowls, etc.

paper & plastic

i have had these blue and white napkins forever, and was inspired the other day to take some photos of them. i did a whole series of paper napkins, plates and plastic cutlery. here are a couple.

candles & matches

lately i've been shooting a lot of still life with my polaroid. something i thought might be hard to do, because you kind of have to control the environment, and i am just used to taking snapshots. lighting was my biggest fear, since i know very little about it. fortunately, we had a few days of super overcast skies, which made for really beautiful light that was perfect for a still life shoot. so over those two days i kind of went crazy, and took about 200 shots. here are two of them.
