polaroid type-55 instant
there's a lotta change and challenge going on for me artistically and business-wise. Last night I submitted an application to do a few Saturdays at the Downtown SLC farmer's market doing instant large format portraits. If I get in (and I hope I'm an accepted vendor. How cool would it be to have my huge camera out there, doing my thing at the market?!), I'll be there 4 or so saturdays, just to try it out. I'm really thankful for photography friends who have listened to me talk about this (for the past year) and have encouraged me to pursue it. Also super grateful for a new photo friend Mitchel Issel who helped me fix my crazy polaroid back. Such a fan of community and people who learn geeky technical stuff from tinkering around.
The goopy paper is still on this one, but this gives you a feel for what the portraits will be like. I took this in about five minutes set-up (for focusing, posing, etc). Actual exposure time was 1/4 @f/5.6.
This is what the set up looked like. It'll be better (with a table and canopy) at the actual market.

I'm so excited for you and plan on bringing the whole family out to see you and be photographed. It's so great!
Rad.
Dude, if you did that I would TOTALLY come to the market and get a portrait. So rad.
Well, well... I go to the SLC farmers market quite a bit (or at least one of their many markets).
Perhaps I will see you there then.
