  • Guest Room Studio, 12 January 2021Polaroid OneStep 2/Polaroid Color i-Type Film We reconverted the guest room into a video studio so Beth Ann can do her ASL interpreting. This includes a repurposed bedsheet hung on old photo backdrop stands. As you can see Beth Ann sprayed it with a wrinkle releaser to help it hang…

  • Shoepocalypse Now!, 11 January 2021Polaroid OneStep 2/Polaroid Color i-Type Film Beth Ann decided to tackle the over abundance of shoes in the house that was partially created by cleaning out the garage. So rounded up all of her shoes in milk crates and they occupied the bedroom.

  • Cookie Delivery, 10 January 2021Polaroid OneStep 2/Polaroid Color i-Type Film Some friends of ours gave us a text that they had made too many cookies, and wanted to drop some off to us. We met them outside and their absolutely adorable daughter brought them to us.

  • The Office Floor, 9 January 2021Polaroid SLR 680 SE/Polaroid Color 600 I spent an in-ordinate amount of time sitting on the floor trying to re-configure my old MacBook Air to run Windows 10 reasonably well. My yoga ball rolled into the shot and I decided it gave an honest depiction of what it’s like in…

  • The Empire Attacks!, 8 January 2021Polaroid SLR 680 SE/Polaroid Color 600 I dusted off our bookshelves which meant individually removing each Lego figure and set from the top of it. I then carefully resumed the Imperial raid on the Ewok village.

  • Goodbye Mystery Boots, 7 January 2021Polaroid SLR 680 SE/Polaroid Color 600 While cleaning out the garage Beth Ann discovered a pair of boots she thought were mine. After a week of texting people in an attempt to to identify their owner we gave them away today to a friend who’s daughter will appreciate them.

  • Eating our Feelings, 6 January 2021Polaroid SLR 680 SE/Polaroid Color 600 With the attack on the Capitol building we both kinda opted to put the bare minimum effort into meals and wound up finishing up a bunch of leftovers, including the last bit of a bunt cake left over from Christmas.

  • Ravenswood South, 5 January 2021Polaroid SLR 680 SE/Polaroid Color 600 Walking back from getting coffee I thought the scene of the construction trucks, and gray sky with the Deegan building in the back just looked nice.

  • Crom’s Bombs, 4 January 2021Polaroid SLR 680 SE/Polaroid Color 600 A few years ago our friend Crom made these paper mache bombs filled with candy. We liked them too much to destroy them, so they sit instead on our key shelf by the front door.

  • Faucet, 3 January 2021Polaroid SLR 680 SE/Polaroid Color 600 I was curious how the SLR 680 would handle a slow exposure of running water. The taps on our second floor take a minute or two to get warm, so every night I need to run the water to be able to wash my face before…
