I like to pretend I am a photographer. Someday I may stop pretending. For now I'm just happy to play with dials and buttons on cameras.

Sometimes I use cameras that allow me to see the picture immediately on a screen.

Sometimes I use ones that I have to wind a knob to advance the frame.

But I prefer it when the picture automagically pops out of the front of the camera or I have to pull a couple tabs and wait a few seconds before peeling it.

I buy film for my Polaroid cameras from the good folks at The Impossible Project.
