Etsy Shop Update

I added two new vintage Polaroids to my Etsy shop this week, including a lovely, steel Polaroid called “The 800″ that requires roll film and is a beautiful collector’s item, and an Automatic 335 Land Camera that appears to be in working condition. It has film in it, so I tested out a few shots. Related posts:

In August my full-time job was cut back to part-time, and I have to be honest. In spite of all of the writing I do on innovation and all of my trend-watching and market-watching, I was completely taken by surprise. I’m over that now, and for the last two and a half-months, I’ve been working for No related posts. Related posts brought to you by Yet Another Related Posts Plugin.[ READ MORE ]

Chris and I had an amazing weekend last weekend. We went to the Notre Dame v. Michigan game in Ann Arbor with his brothers, a cousin, and a friend on Saturday. Then on Sunday, he and his brothers and I went to the U2 concert at Soldier Field in Chicago. It was an AMAZING trip! Here Related posts:

I finally caved and opened a pack of my Share the Love film yesterday. I went with Chris on a senior portrait photo shoot at Hendrix and thought, “Well, just in case…” Unfortunately, in my role as tag along, I did not really have the time to focus on my lighting, which resulted in four very Related posts:

I just received an email from Polapremium that their Share the Love promotion is back! Prices are a bit higher this time due to a change in the exchange rate, but not by much. Last time I didn’t order any film and regretted it since it is so hard to come by now, so this Related posts:

I love shopping for vintage books and treasures, looking for that perfect collectible find, but I often come home with more than my home can hold, or I am constantly shifting out old items with new treasures. For example, I found not one, but TWO vintage typewriters that I “had to have,” but I only Related posts:
