here are 3 of my big shot tests. it's such an awkward camera [in a good way, but it's still odd]. it's big - cumbersome - and you have to line up your image in your viewfinder [there's a mirror so you get 2 images] in order for it to be in focus. i think i'm making it harder on myself by not shooting many people as subjects. [pets are hard to get to sit still against a plain background]. you've got to be about 4 feet away from your subject - so you can't crop the same way you can in other cameras.... being a fan of parameters i like this fact, but it can make some shots difficult [i had to lay on the ground to get the clothespins to focus]
i do like the expired fuji film blue, though....
this has been the week of miscommunication. wrong things said at the wrong time to different people under different circumstances. not that there's been any huge disasters, but i'm finding it tiring. it's stupid things like a print client referring to one image using a description where i think they are referring to another. of course there's a deadline, and they couldn't provide everything on time, so the whole job feels tense.... oh well. i'm hoping it's just this week.
i'm thinking a root beer float might make me feel better. it's SUPER hot here today. i'm off to the studio. that might make me feel better too. as long as i don't miscommunicate with myself....
I'm sorry it's been a funky communication week. ;) But I'm grateful to you for so clearly communicating that a root beer float might solve all the worlds problems (that's what you said, right?). Because I think you just solved mine...off to find a frosty mug. Yum! Happy Weekend, Lisa!
Awww, yes. A root beer float WILL solve your problems. :)
Go get 'em tiger!
Once I tried a Root bear (I had no idea what it was) I can't say I liked it. Lovely Photo's, Lisa.
lovely photos and what a lovely seed of a thought you've planted for a rootbeer float evening. my kids will thank you as well :)
oh communicating is so difficult i think sometimes, even w/ oneself :)
a frosty sure cheered me up yesterday, i hope your float treats you right.
ps. i'm loving my birdie tote :)
Well, I already know that you know that a root beer float is just the thing for comfort and miscommunications. Miscommunications suck and root beer floats rule. You too. xo
I'm liking the film, too. Have you had any happy accidents with your shots? Perhaps something new and wonderful can come of this more awkward camera.
The root beer float will make you feel better. That's what they were made for!... I think.
Ah, miscommunication sucks and clients usually make you feel like it's your fault, don't they?...ah well...i'm prescribing a bathtub sized rootbeer float...and here is a hug from me...there, there...pat, pat. weekend's just around the corner... :)
xo
What a cute doggie! I agree with everyone else, root beer floats always make things seem a tad bit better! :)
Some people hate root beer. But I know differently. Having grown up drinking root beer with an occasional float for good measure I have found that this is a time honored cure for life's minor mishaps! The challenge is in finding the right kind of root beer in the community where one lives......sigh, sigh, sigh....
i love the
clothespin
one...
and the image of
you on the ground
trying to
get it
focused!
:)
hope you feel
better
and
cleared
up
the
miscommunications.

Lovely clothespin photo - great angle too. Oh YUM root beer floats!
We don't have root beer over here, but you've made me crave a coke float instead. I love the pebbles photo. x
ha! communication can be hard. sometimes everything comes out all wrong. enjoy your weekend lisa!
A root beer float and time in your studio sounds like the perfect cure all. I'll be doing a little of the same only my drink of choice will be another strong coffee.
Thanks for your exhibition well wishes... it meant so much to me, and I owe you an email.
Enjoy the remainder of the weekend, and here's to a brilliant and clear week, g xx
Some time in the studio sounds perfect. At least everything make sense there. xoxo lj
PS love the new photos.
We seem to have gotten a lot of wet weather over here, send some sun! Loving your polaroids, the lines on top of them make it so interesting - enjoy experimenting + hope you have a better week coming.
I installed at Linekona today, love your pieces Lisa! I'll take pictures of the exhibition when it's all up. Wendy
cheers to root beer floats and blue photos. we just had root beer floats over here a few nights ago-- it feels so decadent, doesn't it?
and i just "tagged" you after i was just "tagged". so visit my blog to see the rules and post if you like! no worries if you don't. happy monday to you. ;)
These shots are great. The camera sounds like it has too many rules for me but i like the idea of a challenge :)
Hope this week is better for you L .. being a new month and all.
Hugs xxx
Not sure what a root beer float is but it sounds nice - i think?!! The photos look great - loving the blue tinge a lot! ...x
