Then and Now

October 8, 2015 by rustypants Leave a Comment

Lise and I have been shooting a lot of Polaroids the last several months, using a Polaroid 100 Land Camera (shooting Fuji FP-100c and 3000b film), a Polaroid AF 660, and a Polaroid SX-70 Sonar OneStep (shooting Impossible Project film of various stripes, most successfully with the B&W 2.0). Being older folks, we have a nostalgic love of instant film cameras, but being photographers, we’ve also got a love for the technical side of it, too.

We had a stunning realization a couple weeks ago that our first picture together (below, November 1989) was actually a Polaroid taken at a photo booth at the Renaissance Center in Detroit, MI.

Our first picture together - a Polaroid, taken Nov. 1989

Part of the coolness of this was that our last (or most recent) picture together was also a Polaroid, taken a couple weeks ago here in Pensacola.A more recent Polaroid, taken September 2015

Lise was the first to notice this when she went to put the latest picture in her room on a shelf and saw the old one. I’d completely forgotten about that first shot, and it took us on a long, fun conversation about those first months together when we were dating.

Twenty-six years later and we look better than ever! 🙂

Here’s to many more years and many more Polaroids together!
