Now that I have about 3 or 4 packs of Polaroid 600 film left (I think one of them is actually the manipulative SX-70 Time Zero film – though I can only wonder if it still holds its manipulative characteristics when it is so long expired), and just in case the Impossible Project turns out to be in fact impossible, then when I shoot a Polaroid, I feel like I have to make each picture count.
Yesterday, as another winter storm approached Southern California I decided to take a few rainy Polaroid pictures. I took these Polaroids using my Sun660 camera –
I like this camera because unlike the standard 600 camera it lets you shoot without firing the stupid flash.
[Most of the pictures were taken in beautiful downtown Culver City.]

Last week, during the intense Southern California winter storm I made sure to have one of my cameras with me all the time and eventually I ended up with a few rolls of film documenting these unexpectedly stormy days.
While shooting at the Grove I had the annoying feeling of “Been there, Done that”,.
I’m sure every photographer out there knows exactly what I’m talking about.
So I decided to try something new; I will photograph from above and try to connect the images together into one visual narrative of the scene.
It was both fun to adjust my thinking and photograph this way and also put the photographs together in my photo editor.
Though I’m sure it would have been much easier to do with a digital camera, I cannot imagine the effect would have been this pleasing.
I also have to mention that I absolutely love the appearance and colors of this particular film, an expired (2003) Kodak 400NC which I shot with an Olympus 35RC.
