rust

i hate to throw anything out

someday i might need "that"

i have shelves full of "stuff"

i finally got to use one of my leftover polariod cartridges

i used it as a frame for one of my polariod transfers

and for mixed media monday it works well

this weeks topic is rust

now i just have to deside how to hang it

maybe some rusted wire?

a work in progress

waste not

last fall i had the opportunity to take a class with michael demeng

hosted by my friend carmi here in toronto

i always wanted to take one of his classes but they sold out quick

so it was nice to have him in my home town

it was a fun and interesting class

this was my finished project

just another reason to save polariod

mixed emulsions

another reason to save polariod -- emulsions!

when i first learned how to do polaroid transfers

i was wondering what to do with the leftover, under exposed photo

they really didn't look like much but terry insisted that

in the afternoon part of the class

we would "do something" with them

well, i had not idea!

what a wonderful surprise to see the jelly goop

turn into something great!

i wish i started earlier,

now i keep looking at the 3 boxes of 669 film in my fridge,

checking the expiry date , hoping, by some miracle that there

is a warehouse full of film waiting to be discovered

I will pay extra for it!

save polariod

i had the opportunity to take a polaroid transfer class at A&S virginia in 05

with my friend & wonderful photographer & artist terry berg

by lunch i was addicted and bought her day lab

i just love the unexpected things that happen and have had fun

discovering new things with this new medium

unfortunately "they" have decide to discontinue this product

looking at one of my favorite blogs denise lombardozzi

i found this link to save polariod

i just thought the more people know that maybe, just maybe

we can get something done

this photo was taken in jerome, Arizona while visiting my friend sylvia luna

on our way to the grand canyon
