Polaroids in the Backyard

Jay and I made a few 4x5 Polaroids of us yesterday (here's the belly shot for all those asking to see how the baby grows)... I pulled out my big view camera after sorting through all of the old film in the frig. I was surprised to find although Polaroid has folded I still had a bit of film left. Gotta Love Polaroid. I know digital is instant gratification, but nothing is like the joy of making a photo and instantly holding a real (utterly beautifully flawed) photograph in your hands.

  5. This is a beautiful picture. I love your hands, they look so strong and yet they show so much tenderness touching your belly.
    There's such a beauty and nostalgia about Black and white photos that you don't get with color.

  6. This is a really great picture... this can be the first photo that goes into the baby's baby book.

  7. I love your art. When my sister and I started our business we had 6 kids between the 2 of us, my youngest was 3 months old, she is now 23. It is difficult and challenging, but I loved it then as I love it now. Congratulations to you and soon to be baby and family.

    Beautiful! Don't forget to make a cast--great fun--we did it on our anniversary when I was eight months.
