A mural painted on a building located in the downtown square of Benton, Illinois. Being a Beatles fan myself, of course it caught my attention right away.

A row of school buses parked for the summer at our local grade school. I didn’t think I’d ever get to use this camera, because they haven’t made the special type of film it takes in probably 50 years. But, I noticed the shutter worked, even without batteries, so I cut down some 120 film, positioned it carefully where I thought it should be, (in total darkness, of course!), and then shot with it. For the first attempt, I’m really pleased with how it turned out. Now I can mark off another camera in my collection that I’ve used. My goal is to be able to say I’ve used every camera in my collection - all 267 of them. Taken with my hundred and twenty-sixth camera. This image is not cropped, I simply scanned it to all the edges. It turned out the same dimensions as a 35mm negative, so I suppose that’s the shape the original instant prints must have been.

My old Polaroid Pronto, which doesn't seem to work anymore.

The old Polaroid instant camera I got back in the 1970s, a Pronto, doesn’t seem to work any more. This was what the best attempt to take a picture looked like. I don’t know what’s happening, but the internal electronics seem to be malfuntioning. This was my twenty-seventh camera. I guess it still is, even though it doesn’t work. Camera: Polaroid Pronto!

We were at the Sonic having dinner and I just got the instant film in today, so of course I had to shoot a picture of something. What better subject than Diane and her steak sandwich? I picked up this camera at a Goodwill shop for $2 and have had it for about 15 years. This is the first chance I’ve had to shoot with it. I saw where these same exact used cameras were going for upwards of $130 on the internet right now – I’m glad I got mine early and paid only $2 for it.

Taken today, December 25th, 2017. This is my sister and her boyfriend standing in front of my Christmas tree. I took it with my Polaroid Colorpack II and Fuji FP-100c instant film. I used an old Westinghouse flash cube to light my image. After all these years, it still worked fine! The camera was made from 1969 to 1972, with earlier models like mine having a real glass lens.

I was out shooting with several different cameras yesterday and came upon this statue late in the afternoon. The lighting was perfect as the sun was just setting. It's a statue dedicated to children who died young. Surrounding the statue are individual bricks, each dedicated to a child who has died. Some of the words on the bricks were quite touching and sentimental.
