Journal entries in 'Things I Like' for October, 2006

Now that I've got my scanner set up, I'm finally able to start scanning some of the Polaroids and film from my visit to Clemson a few weeks ago. The first ones up are the 4x5" Polaroids I shot with Jenn and Alia with the Pink Cow. I'm pretty happy with how they came out — I think I'll this Polaroid back will be the primary way I use the camera. It really doesn't make much sense to use a handheld 4x5" camera for regular film — if I'm just taking snapshots, I may as well use a smaller, less unwieldy camera, and if I want high-quality images, then I'll use the real view camera mounted on a tripod. The Polaroid back turns the handheld camera into a fun way to take nice-looking pictures and see them right away.
