More portraits with a twist
So the last time I posted was when I had taken photos of my kids in a rather traditional fashion. The only real thing missing was a big green furn in the background. This got me to thinking more about cool portraits so I decided to dust off the old 4X5 large format camera and take a bunch of Polaroids.

My neighbor Chris came by and so I took his portrait first. He is always a sport about things like this. After that I told him to bring his son by and we would do the same thing. It is fun to see the comparisons.

As always my kids are trusted to get in front of the camera too.

Our assistant Michelle enjoyed the big funny camera.

The Carter family arrived yesterday evening for a big family portrait. After we were done I grabbed a couple of a grandmother and her first grandson. They were from LIttleton CO!

This afternoon Chris and I ran over to the Camera Co-Op to grab some film. I took a stab at running a few print negatives but we won't have those results for a few days. As always we ran a few Polaroids first so I can show those.

The one of me is not as blown out. My scanner just auto adjusted for some reason. Here is Denise and Punky.

So there we are. Lots of fun with film. I am sure we will be doing more. Have a great weekend everybody.

Thanks for the comment, but I have to say the mug shot at the bottom with my big chest is not my favorite...and Danny is in big trouble for posting it! I love him anyway and the camera is very cool.

I LOVE that one of James with his arms crossed. Awesome. Film is cool.
