Over the weekend, I found one more pack Polaroid 600 film in my film fridge. I thought I’d used it up ages ago. Now I have to figure out what to do with my (real) last pack! Photos with my nephews at Disneyland is what I used the pack I thought was my last pack for. It’s exciting, to be sure, to have one more go at it.
But I’m also extremely grateful to the folks at The Impossible Project for carrying on the instant print film torch. One of their bewitching instant prints above. I swear this film is like the dachshund of films, behaving only when it wants to, but charming you the whole while. Now if they could just cook up some Polaroid 55 or 8×10 instant print film …

Wishing you a magical 2012, full of grace! And lots of twirling!
*Thank you, Carrie, for making the long journey out here to let me make photographs of you : )

Merry Christmas, everybody! Hope your holidays are full of frolicking good fun! Ours certainly are! Thanks to our studio dogs, Isabelle and Dash(er) for being good little reindeer doggies. (Dash belongs to Jennifer Parsons from Tiny Pine Press).

Those of you who know me well know that I spend lots of time (and also lots and lots of money) on Etsy. Given the choice, I’d probably buy just about everything from the artisans on that site. So … with help from my wonderful assistant, Kate, we’ve opened our own etsy shop. We have lots of new ideas and will shortly be offering some of our pretty alternative process handmade prints (and not just the ones you’ve seen floating around our site!). But in the meantime, feel free to troll around. We’ve got watercolor paper prints of some of our favorite travel photographs up for sale.
Our Etsy shop can be found {here}.
Wishing you all an exuberant summer. I hope to take mine at full speed and with some kind of luxurious joy, like my puppy Isabelle does, when she is chasing butterfly shadows or the reflections from my lens glass.

Two Valentine’s Day wishes are twice as nice.

And I have a feeling the folks in the rest of the country, who are currently enjoying an arctic blast, wouldn’t mind a Caribbean beach vacation themselves.
