The other day, I blogged about my new Fuji Instax that my mom bought me for Christmas and while I've been having so much fun with that little sucker (and buying film like it's 1988), I have to admit that I've been cheating on the Instax just a tad...just a little bit...it's not even cheating! When I was home for Christmas, I asked my mom if she still had her old polaroid camera that we used in the '80's...she dug through her closet and found it...and it still had the receipt in the box from 1985! My parents told me to "go ahead and take it, but good luck finding film!" Well, guess what!? I found film for it! (Thank you, internet!). Even though it comes out to around $4/picture, I took the risk of ordering the film, hoping that the camera would still work...and it does!!!
Poor Bear...as if he doesn't get harassed enough by me and my Canon gear, now I'm cornering him daily with my new holga, fuji instax and the polaroid!!
But, sometimes, I think he enjoys all the attention :)
And how fun is this? I finally started Skyping (I know, I'm sooo behind the times...I'll wave to you from the 1980's with my polaroid, leg warmers and aquanet hairstyle!). My first learning victim was Ross from Flosites...not only did he do such a great job on my portrait blog and website, but the poor guy had to put up with me learning Skype!
Then, I chatted with Heidi and my niece Molly...it was so fun to be able to "hang out" with them for a little bit :)
Soo, if you ever want to Skype, let me know!
Be sure to tune back in next week because I have some exciting news coming your way sometime next week! :) Happy Friday!

The Thursday Resource Room is back for 2010 and I have a very interesting blog article today that is not only for brides but for photographers as well. I stumbled across this blog the other day and the article has a fun map and statistics with details on how much brides are spending on weddings across the country. I love charts and graphs and statistics so it was fun to mull over this article (can we say math geek?!).
Obviously, for all brides out there, this is helpful to see how much of a budget you may expect to have if you're living in a big city compared to other locations in the country. For photographers and other wedding vendors, this is helpful for you to see if you're priced competitively for your region...click HERE for a link to the article!
Have a look!
Happy Thursday!!

Lydia says:
Everything looks great! The site is easy to navigate and clean and fresh. Just a tip, if you can on the blog, make it so links can be right clicked or automatically open in a new tab. I waited for a long time for the blog to download and when I clicked the Elle Decor link, I lost your page and had to reload again.

This fun family contacted me before Christmas to capture a few images for their holiday cards this year and also to document their time in Santa Barbara, they are moving soon and wanted to remember their favorites spots about town...it was awesome because they had all the locations scouted out and picked some pretty cool places. We ended up at the beach, the bluffs and a very cool lemon grove! Check it out!
Heidi says:
Fun! I love the lemon grove pictures. And the fourth picture is my favorite!

of my Fuji Instax that is!!! Ahhh! I LOVE this little camera! So much fun :) This was one of my many cool gifts from my parents and I seriously.CANNOT.stop.playing.with.this.camera!!!
I know Bear is so sick of playing model because I keep posing him in the yard, at the park, on the bed, in the car, and just about everywhere else...but he does like to take part in my "shake it like a polaroid picture" dance as we wait for the film to develop :)
Happy Friday!
**quick note: I'll be out of town again this week for Imaging USA in Nashville...email is the best way to reach me!**

Those are three cameras I would love to get sometime this year! I need something out of the ordinary to spark creativity in those dry moments when I feel burnt out. My dog is also my most used subject when trying out new gear. ;-)
