I was looking around the heaps of things on my floor today... the nine boxes, overflowing suitcases, and various spilling piles when I spotted a brown bag that I received from Ian for Christmas. Inside was one of my favorite cameras and a roll of film.
Ian somehow managed to find me my own brick... an SX70 Polaroid camera, and a actual case for it, in the form of the cute brown bag that I spotted in my room, as well as original directions. And he threw in one of his last rolls of SX70 film, which was discontinued a few years ago.
Lorraine bought a bunch of boxes of the film when it was discontinued and Ian and I used to shoot them on his brick. I have been really nervous and hesitant to shoot my "roll" because I know that once I do my camera won't be used very much again, I just have my ten photos left.
That said, though it can be heartbreaking to use my very last Polaroids, I will use them when the time comes, and despite the fact that once they will be gone my brick won't get a ton of action, I love it and its one of my most favorite gifts. I've included photos of how it pops up... it starts flat: thus why we call it a brick.
Also... I found this great website showcasing what can be found in people's refrigerators. I may find it amusing because I often doodle the inside of refrigerators, but none the less, I like it. So check it here.
