Summer is (FINALLY) here

CHERRIES BABY!

You know that Summer is here when you see cherry stands pop up and bags full of cherries fill the grocery stores.

So I have a little story behind this image:

My little sister is constantly raiding the fridge at our family cabin. So when I needed to shoot some food for my Portfolio class, I of course picked up a big ol' bag of cherries. In what seems like a matter of minutes almost the entire bag disappears into the depths of my sisters stomach. Thankfully she had left me 5 cherries out of the hundreds I had bought. Needless to say all 5 cherries that she left for me were not perfect. But at least these 3 cherries were pretty enough to shoot.

SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT

This Sunday I thought that I might try something a little different...

Here is a peek into my life over the past few days and the amazing things I saw and experienced:

1. Please Always Love, Something that has been on my mind lately that I wished more people practiced.

(This was one of the most interactive and engaging art pieces at the Art/Not Terminal Gallery in Westlake this Saturday.)

2.Blue Skies. The weather in Seattle has been amazing over the past few days and I feel like everywhere I look I see blue skies.

3. Flowers. Coinciding with blue skies it looks like spring has finally started to show with the blooming of all the beautiful flowers.

SHAKE IT LIKE A POLAROID PICTURE

Who doesn't love these things?

Polaroids, A little thing I like to call instant gratification.

Now now I know that a few of you might be thinking to yourself, "hey that doesn't look like a REAL Polaroid"

I know for all you die hard Polaroid fans this is hard to accept.

But this is a new age of the Polaroid.

Now the cool thing about these new Polaroid cameras is that you can choose from two different sizes:

As much as I miss my old Polaroid its nice to know that Polaroid cameras aren't completely phased out. And actually the Impossible Project is bringing back the film for the older versions of Polaroids that we all thought was gone forever.

Even though I have small hands I don't find that the big version of this Polaroid camera is too big or too bulky to hold or take with me. The photos are crisp and clean, not what I expected from a Polaroid at all. The colors are bright, vibrant, and more delicious then ever. It even comes with this attachment for doing close up shots.

I was so excited about getting this camera in my hands as soon as possible that I spent $100+ on the Instax 210 and one package of film. Now looking online I realize that I could have saved quite a bit of money by buying it on Amazon. ohh well!

But other then spending a bit more dough on this camera because I went to an overpriced camera store in Seattle, I am beyond pleased about this Polaroid camera and I will continue to use it throughout this beautiful weather.
