Hi all,

    Very cool shots, Liz. Sure does look like Polaroids from the 70s.

    Thanks Lauren:)
    I think that' part of the charm of the polaroid--the nostalgic vibe. I personally love my polaroids and I treasure the actual photos as opposed to the digital version. It is a concrete piece of that moment in time, either my lunchtime at Central park (the photos above) a wedding, or the playground, they seem to me more intimate reminders of your own history.

    Well I stopped myself before fully waxing nostalgic :)

    Thank you very much.
    It was a ridiculously sunny day, blinding, yet I love how it made the colors come out.

    They both have their virtues as is Liz but I'll also have to slightly favor image 1 too. Look at your spring growth coming on so nicely. Be nice to visit NYC someday and to take in the park while there. Interesting the look that camera is giving up. Not sure I am ready to try such a thing. But maybe. Did see this image by Keith Walklet who lives in our fair city now. Just took in a good class he gave the other day. Anyway you'll see he used the same camera type you took your shots with, save that he "massaged" his print while it was developing as he briefly describes via the link to one of his images. Maybe you have already tried doing it too. :D Looks to me like there is potential in the technique.
