Still working with the Polaroid. I am taking my inspiration from some super 8 that I shot last winter. I am beginning to realize that one of the reasons that I love Minnesota so much is the bleakness of the winter months. To most the winter months here are somewhat depressing, but I take some comfort from the white and silence that accompanies the massive snowfalls that happen from time to time. And I am sad that I will have to wait until next year to continue with this work.

A few months ago I was given an old Polaroid Land Camera. It was given to me by my high school photography teacher. He wasn't sure if it worked or what type of film it took. When I got it home I took a closer look. It looked to me like it took the same polaroid film as my Mamiya. So I popped one in and it worked. I am saddened to hear about polaroids demise, but I will continue to shoot while it is still available and when it is all gone, I'll have to switch to Fuji. These are from the first little project I tried with it. f/90.

Well, the show at the MMAA went very well. I had a great time at the opening and a lot of people came out to see the show. I was also delighted to find out that I get to keep my portion of the banner that is hanging on the side of the building. I have no clue as to where I am going to store it, or even how I am going to transport it from the Museum.

If you haven't seen the show yet, it's worth it.

I have 5 images that will be shown at the Minnesota Museum of American Art. The show runs from March 1st through the 18th of May. Opening is on March 1st, $10 dollars to come to the opening. After that the show is free to the public. I am really excited to be included with such wonderful other artists. This is my first museum show.

More new fashion. I haven't added this stuff to the website yet, so I thought I would put it up here.
