Instant film → Polaroid → Film Types →
I’m not saying that I used the “Type 100” section as a guide for searching eBay, I’m just sa— okay, yes that’s exactly what I’m saying. What? My resolution was no new gear; a girl’s gotta buy film, yo!

2009 New Year’s Resolution(s): no new gear (cameras, lenses); shoot more with film. 10 months in… Okay, I bought the Polaroid 330. (Everyone says it doesn’t count since it was $15. :P) I just dropped off 2 rolls out of the F5 which brings the ‘09 total to 21 rolls of film (F5, Vivtar Wide & Slim, and Holga) 2 months to go! (:
