Twin Peaks: Never get tired of this view of San Francisco. #BlueSkyArtShow #sideways #polaroid #instantphotography #triptych

Double Flip: Tried the double exposure feature on the new Polaroid Flip camera on Sunday’s SF Instant Photowalk in Golden Gate Park. Here’s a few shots. Next stop, PolaCon NYC! #polaroid #polaroidflip #instantphotography

Spectral Flip: Tried taping some Spectra filters to the new Polaroid Flip camera on Sunday’s SF Instant Photowalk. Here are a few examples. Will anyone have a 3D printed holder in time for this week’s PolaCon NYC? If not, certainly not long after that, right? #polaroid #instantphotography

Time Zero in Santa Cruz: I stumbled upon a pack of one of my fave expired Polaroid films and it worked pretty well in the I-2 camera. I understand why some would wonder why I like TZ so much, but it’s unique color shift and artifacts make it highly sought by PolaNerds #polaroid #instantphotography

Calling The Doctor: When a group of SF instant film shooters gathered in North Beach to celebrate Polaroid founder Dr. Edwin Land’s birthday, look who showed up! #Polaroid #instantphotography

Statuesque: Here’s another Polaroid that I hand-colored with brush markers. It’s made from some sculpture I found in back of an artist studio while attending PolaCon NYC in 2023. Looking forward to the 3rd one next month. @instantfilmsociety.bsky.social #polaroidweek #polaroid #instantphotography

40 Years Ago Today: Spring Polaroidweek happens to start on the anniversary of my marriage to Nancy on April 20, 1985. This Polaroid from that day in Gloucester, Mass., has held up remarkably @polaroidweek.bsky.social #polaroid #instantphotography #polaroidweek

It’s coming! Spring Polaroid Week is just 2 weeks away (April 20-25). This was one of my posts from last year, shot at Jim Gray’s Petrified Wood in Holbrook, Arizona. Done with Polaroid’s I-2 camera with both a green and a blur filter on it. @polaroidweek.bsky.social #instantphotography #dinosaur

Happy April Fails Day, when instant photographers post their failed Polaroids. As a card in Brian Eno’s ‘Oblique Strategies’ deck suggests, it’s time to “honor thy error as a hidden intention.” #aprilfailsday #polaroid #instantphotography

Distant Nearness: That’s the most recent theme of The 12:12 Project and this is my Polaroid interpretation of it. Shot with the I-2 camera. I colored the print a bit with brush markers. #polaroid #instantphotography #sfinstantphotowalk

It’s a blue caturday for me. The reign of Luna ended today, more than 16 years after she moved in and made it clear to her big sister, Mia, who the Alpha cat in our home was. She was a joyful and loving soul who made our world infinitely sweeter. 💙 🐾💙 #rip #luna #caturday

Delicate Arch: Met Nashville singer-songwriter Erica Sunshine Lee a few years ago after she hauled her guitar up here for a YouTube shoot at Arches NP #blueskyartshow #arch #instaxclub #instantphotography #archesnationalpark
