So, the other day I showed you the Holga action.  It makes me want to buy one.

Today, long live the polaroid.  Last year, Polaroid decided that it would bring back the instant camera.  Pre-order yours at the Polaroid website.

But, if you want the look of a Polaroid without the camera, try this: polaroid action. I think the results look pretty cool.  I took relatively uninteresting snaps and turned them into kitsch.  Enjoy.  SPL

P.S.  I do have a friend working on yesterday’s data nightmare.  Thank goodness for computer-programming friends.   More new photos to come soon.

I’m feeling blue.

Like a shark is attacking me.  Well, not really…

Read on.

I have just had a little data accident.  Well, not a little one.  The beautiful little, portable hard drive where I was storing almost all of my edited files got disconnected from the computer without being properly ejected.  Oops…  All my lovely files are now hanging out in that tiny black machine/drive ready to be reclaimed by a nerd in shining, pocket-protected armor.

Help me.  I have tried to find software to fix it myself, but they all cost a fortune.  Do you know anyone who has data recovery software?  Email me if you do at [email protected].

Help me if you can?

Sorry, no new photos today.  I’ll have to edit some old ones or just take more.  That shouldn’t be a problem.

I wish you a better day than I am having.  SPL

I don’t have one of these cool, little things, but I can look like I do.  I found a cool Holga action that turned my normal photos into the interesting moody images below.  And it’s free.  Help yourself by clicking here.

Enjoy.  SPL

So, on my trip to Baltimore I got to snap shots of my Aunt’s garden that was just starting to bloom.  Flowers to fresh herbs…  Enjoy.  SPL

My answer is both.  Here are some snaps that I took last summer with my old faithful SONY point-n-shoot camera.  I can still get good photos with it, but for me, it’s all about control.  With this great little camera I could only control a few things (mostly composition.)  For the rest, the photos and I were at the mercy of the camera’s built-in functions.  I took a lot of bad, blurry, under- or overexposed photos because the poor little camera didn’t know what to do.

And Photoshop helps, too.  SPL
