I’m still working out a work flow, if you will, for dealing with & containing prints from the 330.

They’re all sticky when you first unpeel them, so no touchies! And that’s fine, but when you get on a roll (heh) shooting with it…what to do? I can’t pop them straight into my little notebook: they’ll stick to the pages (learned that lesson quickly). I’ve taken to carrying them for a few minutes to dry, but holding 3 and pulling more from the camera, it gets cumbersome. I’ll figure something out! (The cold clip you see is excellent, but only once the prints are dry.)

Accidental typography / wanna-be G-clef.

I’ve never lived anywhere with stairs inside. I still don’t, really, but my building does have 100-year-old (oak?) staircases and my 8-year-old self drags her hand down the banister every time we go in or out. (:

I do this a lot, shoot a frame completely out of focus. Here because I like the colours in the Japanese Garden so well.

Later, Sunday morning, November.

Nerdily excited about the 2 rolls from Portland, I walked around my neighbourhood (and apartment) and blew through a roll of Kodak’s BW400CN. (:

Camouflage!

Lunch of champions! (Yesterday in Vancouver. No poutine. ): )

Lunch with Oscar.

I’ve been on a bit of a roll with the Polaroid 330 this last week and I’m enjoying every frame of it. 2 packs of colour film gone with 3 more en route for my trip to Vancouver.

This morning, post-daily chai acquisition, I stood next to my car trying to line up a shot of just one of the lovely golden trees fluttering all over Bellevue. nb: rangefinder focusing on leaves is tricky!

(Should I really be calling these Polaroids? Sure they’re made in a Polaroid camera, but the film is Fuji. Hm. Calling them “instant pictures” isn’t right, either, or anyway it sounds silly. “Polaroids” gets the point across; I’ll stick with it. [Final answer.])

Another version of the Tuesday photo, using the Mill Colour app. (via Matthew Buchanan)

I’ve only tinkered with Mill Colour a couple of days so far, but I’m definitely enjoying it. (a) it’s free (b) it’s pretty full-featured for being free (c) I like being able to screw with saturation OR gain OR gamma, blah blah blah.

(Plus, the home screen of the app has an ever-so-slowly spinning colour wheel. (: )
