Backyard

Instant film = Instant fun

Taking photos with instant film is nearly impossible. It's no wonder it virtually vanished. Except, it's back. And it hasn't gotten any easier.

The color is muted. The lense is enormous. You get only one-shot because there is no re-do. The only delete button is the trash can. And yet, it's so fun. The photo emerges magically while you watch. And each shot is truly one of a kind because well, only one exists.

Dolly's handwritten lyrics to Jolene

 

Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
