I think I'm starting a book project of Polaroids taken around the Honeymoon Lake community where I live. I'm still hesitant given that reality keeps intruding on my photography but I think this was my first shot for this project. I will decide this weekend and have more about this project. This is also the first shot taken with my black Polaroid SX-70 Alpha 1 SE with the very special blue button. The camera works like it should. Wonderful! It's in excellent shape but for the leather covering and I've ordered new leather. I may wait until I recover it before I have it pose for it's formal portrait. The SX-70 is an amazing camera and is a blast to use. It appears that I'm joining this party as it's almost over given that Polaroid has announced that it will cease production of 600 film in 2009. Until then...party on!

Spring, for me, starts when our local Ace Hardware in Freeland puts out their plastic lawn chairs which, this year, was two days before the rest of the world celebrated the start of spring. I have a picture on film of these chairs taken then but it's still in the camera. No picture taken stays in a Polaroid SX-70. I've started a Flickr set for my SX-70 Polaroids.
