Maybe I am Jeff Land

I also did some art work on Monday. I did this drawing with crayons and colored pencils. I also broke out the Polaroid camera for a few photos. Edwin Land invented Polaroid photography. I am by no means a Polaroid artist but it is a fun camera to use and I like using unusual cameras on days off of work, helps keep photography fun.

Essentials

As a photographer there are a few essential things that you can't live without.
1. Kodak Brownie Hawkeye
2. Tri-X 120
3. Pack of Polaroid film
4. My UPAA Coffee Mug-ok mine is a couple of years old now but it still keeps the coffee hot and the Diet Coke cold.

Oh yeah, and I was goofing around with my student workers new 50mm 1.4 and this was on the shelf above my computer.

Polaroid-RIP

My UPAA friend Richard Kopp sent this image out of WQ (Wilson Quarterly) about the death of Polaroid Instant Paper. If you click on the photo it makes it large enough to read the type.

Summer Camp

Jenna, Jamie and Jackson are headed to camp today. This is the first year for Jackson and I think he is excited. He has his video camera packed and his headlamp flashlight. My niece,Casey, is coming to go to camp with Jamie. Camp Tahkodah is run by Harding and the director is Ross Cochran one of Harding's Bible Professors. Ross and Nita have run camp for the last several years and they do a great job. I look forward to the time when I can go and spend the week at camp with all the kids myself.
PHOTO NOTE: The top photo is a real Polaroid. I was inspired by watching the movie Martian Child to shoot some Polaroid film before it is gone forever. I got my Polaroid camera from Julie. She took a pre-school seminar on using photography in the class room several years ago when she worked for the educational co-op in Bebee. I have a couple of other Polaroid cameras and HU has a Polaroid back for its Bronica 645 camera.
