Another frustrating walk with my Lomo'Instant Wide. I just keep messing up the distances. I have to give up on all but the infinity setting, can't afford to blow through so many shots. Any tips out there? Walk around with a tape measure? #instaxclub #lomo
The one shot I got today, out of nine. SIGH. A wall, painted red, except for one rectangle of raw cinder block/

I am getting my scanning station together–just using a window and a phone app is NOT the way to go, but wow oh wow this is fun!

Big picture project! After shooting all day, I was saying goodnight to my daughter. She had drawn a little trinket and I saw another possible shot. I spent a lot of time posing her... and the shot came out blurry! We had a laugh and I have to say, I really love this! #instaxclub #bigpictureproject
blurred shot, tones of pinks and browns. A reclining figure can be made out, holding up a piece of paper

Big Picture Project: part of my struggle was I had to shake the feeling that I live in a boring place... Taking pictures again has shaken the dust off my worldview! #instaxclub #bigpictureproject #instax
Do not enter sign, flash photo in darkness I am finding traffic cones are helpful with my sense of the depth of field–I have REALLY struggled with this. Image: Overhead view of a traffic cone, its tip in sharp focus, the rest blurred Back of a yield sign in darkness A small hill covered with painted rocks

Still figuring out the Lomo'Instant Wide. I got the lenses for it and am blowing through film–I really appreciate Polaroid for its far more rough and ready film! But my skills are slowly improving... SLOWLY #bigpictureproject #instax #lomo

Throwback: Walking to work, Scholastic Headquarters on Broadway, November 19, 2002. Polaroid 600 #bigpictureproject #polaroid #polaroid600
Vertiginous angle up, a light pole running the length of the right hand side of the picture plane. The roof of a van mirrors the perspective of the buildings above it under a featureless white sky.

The lights lit the old sticker goo on fire #intaxfilm #bigpictureproject #lomoinstantwide
Instant camera photo from inside a car, viewing a traffic light at an intersection, It's suck and the rear lights of the car in front of us is lighting up the gluey spots of old stickers on the windshield.

I trained our two kittens to come when I whistle. They are full grown now and even faster at answering the call

Still trying to get the hang of the Lomo Wide Instant...I know Polaroids back and forth and am shocked to find my brain slow to take in the differences... but getting there!

Holy cow, I have a similar shot: Polaroid Land Camera, March 21, 2008, heading into work. #bigpictureproject #polaroid #polaroidlandcamera
