2012 Halloween Polaroids

 Group shot!

 Marcus doing his Stare of Truth.  Beware, Bad Guys. Beware.

 Ian plays it Smooth.  Chicks dig it that way.

Zoë doing smiley face.  Inside a giant pink poodle outfit.  Smiley face...

TRON and the Lady Bug of Tomorrow

Halloween 2011.  There was epic polaroid failure happening with three different cameras.  Some sinister cosmic conspiracy was trying to keep me down this year... although "failure" is a rather ambiguous term when shooting polaroid.  More to come.

Darth Vader Balloon

So, I'm not much of a parade lover.  In fact, you could say that I don't like them at all.  And when Aaron and I were tossing around ideas for a Saturday shoot and the hot air balloon launch came up, I couldn't help but imagine a parade-like experience.  And then Heidi mentioned that she thought the Darth Vader Balloon was going to be there.  "The what?"  Exactly.  Turns out it's a big old thing:

It was so worth it.

December 29.
Nothing says "Happy Birthday" like staying in and shooting polaroids.  Partay!

Halloween Polaroid Time!

 

 

It wouldn't be Halloween without the obligatory polaroid.  Really.  It wouldn't.

Here are some night polas from Orem Summerfest. Back when it was hip. You know, like, two months ago.

Everything Merges with the Night

So, in a sort of cheeky response to requests for photos of our new place... here is a polaroid night shot. With people. The weather warms a bit and they just show up to sit on the grass.

Sorry or Please

I'm just getting to the huge backlog of photos I've had building since the first part of December. Add to that, Heidi has been sick for the past week and I've been helping someone else learn to develop film and I'm just not posting as much these days (kind of missed a whole month there in December, which we've only done a few times in the past three and a half years). Although, I'm taking photos again, so that's fun.
Polaroids. More Polaroids.

The actual positive from this Polaroid type print was hardly as wicked as the salvaged goopy negative.

The Legend lives on!

William, in color!

Film photography is weird. Just ask William. But, if you really want to impress the kids, whip out your Polaroid back (because it's just wasting space in your bag) and explain the goopy business of peel-apart instant film! Your place is sure to turn into an outright circus. They'll ask you to do it again and again. If you're smart, you'll listen to them.

This photo is the lucky result of a patient subject and Aaron's lighting wizardry (I just showed up to pull the trigger and smear the goop). As always, I should have taken way more than I did. Listen to the kids, Mike. Listen to the kids.
