That’s a beautiful print Mark! I do miss my darkroom sometimes. I still have an unopened box of 8x10 Agfa Portriga kicking around .. just in case I get my hands wet again.

If you were a young photographer and grew up in the digital age, you’ll never know the excitement that a Polaroid image brought to one’s photo session.

I bet we do know! My friend has an incredible collection of vernacular photography. When the Polaroid was first introduced, the images that became available were just so amazing. What those crazy couples were shooting and sharing Polaroids with other crazy couples.

Found a new in box Polaroid SX 70 at a thrift store last year. It wasn’t a nice tan in silver, but a black and silver. Thinking of trying to track down some film that’s affordable. It was a church thrift shop and the price was $10. I gave them $20 just to keep in good karma with the church goers.

You always have to take advantage of a hot summer day.

A rare 35 mm capture for me, I didn't shoot that format all that much.

Om - Rhode Island 1990's

Om, my "original muse" is tiny but has great proportions. Her legs appear quite long despite only being 5'2". My project over the coming weeks is to come up with a better way to file the negative sleeves and contact sheets so it's easier to choose and scan.

Thank you! Lovely family with South African and European roots. I heard this image hung in their parents home at one time.

Portrait of Tanya - Ipswich, MA - 1998

I was scouting and testing a location for a commercial shoot and Tanya came along to help with equipment. It's a huge hay barn with big open doors on the end, providing some nice natural light.

Good morning! I've been absent from BlueSky, new photography has been limited due to the weather here in New England. Lots of snow, lots of extreme cold, power outages, etc. But it has given me time to start scanning more images from my archives.

Here's Lisa, from the 90's on Polaroid 66.
