Polaroid Film Three.

I thought this polaroid film would have a theme, but 
I think it's better the way it turned out. 
[taking photos randomly] 

Polaroid One. 
Poirier [ice cold] Adventure to Lake Okeechobee. 
The photo is of Lake Okeechobee.
[duh]


Polaroid Two. 
Aleksi unpacking from Utah. 
She belongs here. 
Her room - and if you look closely - Aleksi is in the mirror. 
[she was supposed to be in the photo - but - i don't really have an explanation for why she isn't]


Polaroid Three. 
My house. 
Can't say enough good things about being here. 
I am dreading going back to G-ville. 
d.r.e.a.d.i.n.g.i.t.


Polaroid Four. 
Day after Christmas. 
After Church. 
I love my sisters. 


Polaroid Five. 
Pilot Chris invited me to go flying with him. 
My parents were uneasy about it at first - but it was definitely one of the highlights of my winter break. 
I packed everything the night before [cameras] - got my clothes ready, 
so that when I woke up I could just jump out of bed - get dressed and go. 
It all worked out fine - I got a little lost and got there like ten minutes late. 
Chris was already in the plane - engine running and ready to go when I pulled up. 
 I got in - buckled up - and we were off. 
"You brought your camera right?" 
"Yeah - [pulled it out of bag] - Smile --- oh no" 
I left my memory card at home in my laptop - as always. 
What.An.Idiot. 


Luckily I had my polaroid with six polaroids left. 
So that's what we got - six photos. 
Do you know how hard that was for me? 
I think it was good though - if anything - it showed me that I don't need to take a billion photos 
every time I want to take photos. 
New Goal: Don't take a billion photos every time I use my camera. 
This polaroid was taken outside my window - the top part is the wing of the plane. 
[I know - washed out - I'm still figuring out the little "darker" - "lighter" dial] 

Polaroid Six
My House! 
Chris took me to see my house [bottom right] 
and then we flew to Hobe Sound - over the Logan's house - and to the beach. 
The beach was really cool. 
If I had one more polaroid - I would have taken it of that. 



Polaroid Seven. 
Pilot Cantrell. 


Polaroid Eight. 
Again with the dial.
But I think I prefer too light over too dark.


Polaroid Nine. 
I think there are only some photos that the photographer can appreciate. 
This is definitely one of them. 


It's supposed to be of me and Chris. 
It's tilted a little. 
Whatever - I can see it - and I like it. 

Polaroid Ten. 
I was telling Chris this, how it always seems that my 
last polaroid comes out really well. 
I think it's because with numbers 1-9 - I experiment and try to do different things 
and then on number 10 - I'm sick of having mess ups and I just do what I know will get me a good photograph. 


This was an awesome adventure. 
I had a blast and hope to do it again [next time with my digital], thanks Chris.

  2. I tried to pick a favorite and then I would scroll down and see more and then not be able to decide...but the flying one's were especially cool. I sitll can't believe Chris can fly! And I can see you guys in #9 and I think it looks so cool. I love seeing him with the headset on, so serious!
