Polaroid It

I have always been interested in photography, but recently because I am starting to sell my photos I wanted to try different types of photography. I own a really nice SLR film camera, but obviously unable to develop my own film... hopefully some day, so I stumbled across these really cool photos taken by Polaroid transfer.




I start searching the internet to learn more. I come across one of those really cool Polaroids were one peels the film apart and it's sticky on one side (Remember Kristen Dunst in Crazy Beautiful where she's all into photography and she takes Polaroids and then peels them off and sticks them in her journal??) That's what I want to do.

Because, like everything I research the heck out of a subject before jumping in, I need to know what camera I should buy for the peel-apart film etc. This is what I came up with (correct me if I am wrong)

I want a Polaroid Automatic 100 Land Camera (Packfilm)
then I need 660-series peel-apart packfilms
I was recommended to check out www.freestylephoto.biz for the best prices of film for these sorts of cameras, prices seem resonable around $20 bucks.

So I got on top of it and bid on a camera on Ebay.


What I don't understand is how people on Ebay can post a old camera for $20-$40 bucks if they don't even know if the damn thing works or not! It's frustrating when I am trying to find a camera that actually works, but no one can tell me, they all say, "Don't know anything about cameras, looks in good condition".

I found a really cool site for Polaroid camera, it has all the info on the camera and what kind of film it takes.

I'm Movin On

It's time to move on from San Francisco, don't worry I am not going too far. My boyfriend and I are moving to the border of Emeryville and Oakland, the Border Lofts (hence the border). We are talking about brand new never been lived in loft, no one has ever taken a bath in my bath! No one living below or above us! Our own washer and dryer, brand new appliances; including dish washer and disposal, plenty of room for an office area.
Ok there is always a flip side to every story... bad things include the Ghetto being a block away (Justin says it's not really the ghetto, but believe me it's as close as it comes), washer and dryer are located in the bathroom. I know they are trying to save space, but come on. And lastly it cost a whole $6.40 round trip to get to SF and back. I'm willing to work with these things considering all the positives.
Wish me luck on moving all my shit.

My new home

Addicted to Etsy.com

My brother a photographer introduced me a long time ago to Etsy.com, but because of being in the middle of school I didn't take a huge interest to it. Then after making my Christmas cards I received a note from my cousin telling me that I needed to check out Etsy.com and sell my stuff.

Now that I am graduated and don't have any homework to do I thought why not check it out. Now I am officially addicted to it. Luckily because I am about to move and don't have any extra spending cash I haven't boughten a tone of stuff, because believe me I would, there is so much awesome stuff on this site, and I absolutely love having things in my home that are handmade.

The next thing to do was to create an account to sell my stuff. Because I already had a ton of photography that I have taken in the past 4 years I decided that is where I will start. I posted prints for sale of a few of my photographs, and I made some 5x5 cards that have my photography attached to the front of them. I am planning on posting more stuff but for right now I am content with what is up.
