Last Days of Polaroid

I took out the camera for Baltimore Pride and got a few good snaps. I don’t know why I always forget to change the exposure setting when I am shooting in bright daylight. That’s why some of these look a bit washed out. There’s a nice clean quality about them that I like, so it [...]

I don’t usually rave about any of my work, but I do LOVE this Polaroid of Vanessa Vail. She looked stunning as usual and I think I finally captured that in this mouth-watering photo.

Vanessa with the lovely Liz Bardelli, star of our imaginary band Horses.

My good friend Jason Dove was at the CVP when we arrived. Apparently he likes to go there to play [...]
