introducing “billie” my new polaroid baby

I recently started dreaming about polaroids.  I began asking my flikr buddies where I could score one and the answer was invariably “Ebay.”  I searched the site for a while before deciding to put my polaroid dreams on hold for the moment and just focus on learning how to use Trixie (my 35 mm pentax k1000 film camera) and Rho (my kickbutt pentax k20d DSLR).  Well my friends, the heavens smiled on me and I happened upon a little yard sale on the upper west side of Manhattan and scored a sweet Polaroid Sun 600 land camera for OMG $10 bucks.  As with Trixie and Rho, with my new polaroid baby Billie I fall way short in taking consistently sharp stunning photos.  So far, I have 5 really blurry polaroid photos or better still 5 really blurry really expensive $2 a ‘roid photos.  Film is seriously $20 for a pack of 10 exposures {*gasp*} With lots of practice, I hope to be taking photographs as stunning as Susannah Conway, Alicia Brock, and Jen Gotch! These woman are amazing and they take amazing polaroids.  

Please stop by my little Etsy shop and partner with me in buying more 600 series polaroid film before all the polaroid film in the world is completely gone forever. Pretty pretty please.

Here are a few of my favorites polaroids taken by Susannah (1-4), Jen  (5-7), and Alicia (8-9)

aaah dreamy polaroids.
