In this shop they are in a hurry, selecting something now is not quick enough, they want you to select it even nower!
This was my fifth shot with my new Fuji Instax Mini camera. I love how both these Piegeon shots turned out! I was finally getting the hang of the camera. It's a fun one! Thank you, mom. =)
I love pomegranates. I'm all about the immediate gratification, so the fact that I'm willing to spend so much time to prepare them is a testament to my love. When they're on sale, I buy bunches & make pomegranate-blood orange sorbet.
The insecurities,
the ambition,
the wants,
the needs,
the greed, the love, the lust
.... Its all me ....
the pain, the pleasure,
the gratification, the liar,
the good Samaritan,
the innovator, the plagiarist
.... its all me .... All me ... in my own cage .. in my own life ...
Today I took my Holga and some old film out for a stroll around the neighborhood. Needed to have a little bit of digital instant gratification though...

Thanks for the very fun idea CraftyGardener! This has white New Guinea Impatiens and varieagated ivy too! Talk about instant gratification - I love it!
These magnets are made from scraps of fabric, clear pebbles, craft adhesive, and a heavy duty magnet.
Crocheted middie dresses are instant gratification! I whipped this one up in a few minutes. my stitches don't look so neat but that's because it's slubby yarn. The hat took longer, it's made out of angora yarn I found at the thrift shop. The bear took longer still.
If its instant gratification I'm after (and lord knows I'm a huge fan of instant gratification) then I'll grab a big bag of chilli flavoured chips, like the rest of civilised society, but I have to admit my ultimate comfort food would be this sandwich. Hot sopressa, Jarlsberg cheese, green oaks lettuce and avacado on (normally) a Pane Di Casa or other heavy dough bread. I was too lazy to visit the bakery today, so I settled for a cob...
It's especially good if you mix a bit of butter in with the avacado... (though tthat ruins any resemblance it once had to a healthy' sandwich...)
This is my attempt at a product shot really. Strobist was simply a bare light on about 1/16 camera left, balancing the sun that was at camera right. shet the shutter speed to bring the sky to a nice hue, adjust aperture to suit the strobe and Robert's your brothers mother... or soemthing like that...
I don't like the angle I chose, and I've eaten it now, so thats what we're all stuck with...
*** girls stop reading here***
For all you single guys out there, these travel well. A couple of these, some cheese and crackers, grapes and strawberries and a nice sweet wine, like a muscato, in a picnic basket, all you gotta do is find a patch of grass in the sun and a date, and Its bound to go well...
As I was walking all alane
I heard twa corbies making a mane:
The tane unto the tither did say,
'Whar sall we gang and dine the day?'
'—In behint yon auld fail dyke
I wot there lies a new-slain knight;
And naebody kens that he lies there
But his hawk, his hound, and his lady fair.
'His hound is to the hunting gane,
His hawk to fetch the wild-fowl hame,
His lady 's ta'en anither mate,
So we may mak our dinner sweet.
'Ye'll sit on his white hause-bane,
And I'll pike out his bonny blue e'en:
Wi' ae lock o' his gowden hair
We'll theek our nest when it grows bare.
'Mony a one for him maks mane,
But nane sall ken whar he is gane:
O'er his white banes, when they are bare,
The wind sall blaw for evermair.'

Slow with the posting recently, since I am shooting film these days. I will have the rolls developed in bulk. I do miss the instant gratification of digital.
In the mean time, here is an old photo of mine. 1999, Norwalk, Connecticut. Kodak 100, shot at twilight. Scanned from a print. Cropped & vignette added in GIMP.
G is for GRATIFYING
1. Definition: affording satisfaction or pleasure
2. Definition: pleasing to the mind or feeling
The work here is hard, sometimes back-breaking. Every day, 7 days a week, rain or shine. In the heat. In the rain. In the snow. But...all a person needs to do is look into the eyes of an animal that knows it belongs someplace. That is GRATIFYING and makes it all worthwhile!

Polaroid is an icon, and I believe the brand has enough supporters to warrant the continuation of the product. The instant gratification and tactile qualities have yet to be adequately replaced.

My niece gave me a beautiful blue glazed flower pot and a bag of Hyacinth bulbs at Christmas. It has been a long wait, but worth it. The plants are just now reaching maturity.
still finishing up my roll of film on the Classica at this point. taking snapshots on the phone for more immediate gratification ^o^
Project365 is really amping me back into photography. Awhile ago, I wanted to jump back into film, but had no motivation to do it. Why go back to waiting for your prints when you have instant gratification on the back of your digital? Why does it seem that those of us who learned on film, always get called back to it?
I think, for me, it's the feel and smell of negatives and the chemicals we used to develop them. I remember being alone in that pitch black darkroom, threading my 35mm film onto the stainless steel spool. I remember that we had to practice in the lab by closing our eyes and doing it all by touch. To this day, I could probably spool up two rolls of 36 exposure film in under three minutes.
I haven't returned to developing my own film yet, but I'm anxious to get a roll into the old camera and see how my old school skills stack up to my new school skills.
Always always always remember where you came from. That is where we learned our lessons, that is where we failed and got back up. There's is plenty of time in the future to do all that we want, it's the past that is fading away faster than you want to believe.
Hold on to who you were then to teach the person you want to be tomorrow.
And if you learned on film, try shooting a roll and see what nostalgia it conjures up.
Leicaflex SL with 50mm Summicron. Ilford XP2.
Nikon 9000 scanner.
Every time I borrow one of the film cameras I am utterly convinced that every single shot will be out of focus, or horribly over or under exposed. Then I wait for the film to get mailed out, developed, sent back, unrolled to flatten, and then comes the interminable "scanning queue." I should probably be more gracious when it's Steve's camera, Steve's film, Steve's mailing, flattening and scanning - but I'm a digital girl, I thrive on instant image gratification, I can't help it!
This one was worth waiting for though...
"Water, thou hast no taste, no color, no odor; canst not be defined, art relished while ever mysterious. Not necessary to life, but rather life itself, thou fillest us with a gratification that exceeds the delight of the senses. "

Acidental Double, I'm still figuring out my Polaroid 100 Land Camera
My Polaroid Camera shoots 690 film and its peel apart, I really like the negative side too so I posted it below in the comments:
Instant gratification. That's what we have here folks. A recently acquired 1965 Polaroid 103 with a 3 element glass lens and f8.8, f42 aperture. Shutter speed runs from 10sec. to 1/1200th. It takes modern Fuji pack film. I am running fp-3000b and fp-100c. It took a 3volt battery that is now no longer commonplace, so I converted it to a 2(AAA) 3V pack. The same specs as it 1975 more refined brother the Polaroid 430 which I have also added to the stable.
Two things I like about film: delayed gratification and the unknown.
I have been shooting with this beautifully flawed "flipped lens" C3 for 18 months, aiming the camera at subjects without really knowing what the result will be.
Lately, I have been spending more time in the woods, and since so many woodsy subjects are small, I have been thinking about using a diopter on the C3. Argust 8th was the day to try.
Since I had no idea where the camera would focus with an auxiliary lens held in front, and since the lens was from an Ansco Clipper (big 616 negative), I chose a subject that started close to the lens and extended away, in the hope that some part of the image would be in focus.
Well, it looks to me like nothing is in focus, but I like the shot anyway.

So now almost turning full circle I revisit this place and dig up another photo from July 22nd at Ocean City, Maryland. It was on this very day that my father was first hospitalized with a serious life threatening heart condition, although I wouldn't find out for another 24 hrs. See first photo and story here: www.flickr.com/photos/slippay/2718301459/in/set-721575943... Now over a month later after several procedures and no escape from the hospital, we have had a successful heart donor..... Of course we are all ecstatic...
I look at this photo and it's hard to even imagine having been here since things changed so quickly and drastically... many things... I really enjoy all the time I spend with my loved ones....

my KOLA colored filters arrived in the post yesterday from photojojo ❤
chum came over for some doggie walkies and i thought it would be a good time to try the filters out.
learned that the darker filters are prolly better suited for the flash rather than in front of the lens :(
i have insomnia. one night my husband suggested i count to 100 and that I would drift off to sleep. the counting turned into the visualization of numbered sheep, which slowly jumped the fence. To speed things up a bit, because I'm into instant gratification, i imagined a giant hand scooping up the slow sheep and throwing them over the fence.....i was highly amused by the thought and decided then and there to create a series of "counting sheep" collages....and eventually i did drift off to sleep after much giggling all by myself in the dark.

(Instant gratification for my friends 1 year ago, now here on Flickr.)
