Nostalgia?


"September 2, 1880" (Polaroid Spectra, IP PZ 600 Silver Shade - Cincinnati, Ohio, May 2011)
"Stadium" (Polaroid Spectra, IP PZ 600 Silver Shade - Cincinnati, Ohio, May 2011)
Some shots taken early last year at the Cincinnati Reds ballpark. K and I took in a game after she had run the Flying Pig Marathon. Shots are taken with a Polaroid Spectra camera, using the then-current iteration of Impossible Project's Silver Shade Film. It was a hot and humid day, and the IP film was having trouble with the heat, creating the washed out, yellow tones. You can get some interesting effects with this film, but it was and remains a very unpredictable and inconsistent medium.

History

Even though I started this ride as a country boy in Toughskins, at this point I'm a confirmed city boy, through and through.

Still, there is something that draws me about the rural Midwest landscape. There is a beautiful longing and loneliness in these spaces.

Silent Night

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Best Wishes to all.
May you be well, safe, warm and sound. And may you and yours always find your ways home.
