Three Blondes

This is sooo California! This photo to me is like million year old insect encased in amber.

Check out the new tract homes behind the blondes. My first home was part of a brand new tract. My father did all the landscaping. That photo makes me happy but the oil post card makes me absolutely giddy.; December 12, 2008 at 9:16 AM

Not all polaroids are created equal. There is the cheapy polaroid, you know where the image comes out at front. You can still buy film for those at Costco, at least you could this summer. There are other, more sophisticated polaroids too. Back when I was in school and we were doing studio photography with medium format camera, we used matching polaroid for proof before shooting the negative. Those ones cost a couple of bucks a pop.

The good thing about digital photography that it is cheaper, and you don't have to have access to a photo lab to do your own printing.; December 13, 2008 at 9:03 AM
