Oh that looks really nice, thanks. I think I will buy it, cause when ever I try double exposures with my ae-1 it doesn’t always work out the way I want to. Do you shoot a lot with toy cameras?

Really the Sprocket Rocket is the only toy camera that I use a lot. But I do love Lomo cameras like the Sprocket Rocket and the LC-A, but really even the LC-A is too nice to really call a toy camera.

In general toy cameras have too soft of a focus for me; and the Sprocket Rocket feels like the exception. But I do shoot lots of analog camera from the Sprocket Rocket, to the LC-A, to the Polaroid 680, to even the Polaroid Land Cam 250. They are all consumer-ish cameras, but all just above the toy level I would say. Though non are really over $350.

Hi Derek, thanks so much for your response. I was able to find a dealer in Germany who sells the film. I am sooo looking forward on trying it. And thank you so much for your kind words with the reblog. I am glad you like my stuff! Means a lot!

My pleasure. Happy to help any time. So glad you found some. I love their gold boarder film. Hoping they start making it again soon.

And I am in awe of any great good double exposure. I never do them because my brain just doesn’t think that way so truly an amazing shot. Keep up the great work!

Dear Derek, first of all: great blog you got there! I am happy I stumbled upon it today. I saw this amazing polaroid: Hattie Watson. LA. 2012. Polaroid 548. I am taken by the picture and the golden frame. Since I don’t know any films with a gold frame, I was wondering, whether you could tell me, whether the frame is gold, if so, what film it is, or if you painted the frame? I would be very happy to hear from you. Best, Nadja

Hello! Thank you so much for your kind words. Hattie is so amazing to work with, I love the shots that came out of working with her. As for the gold boarder it is actually a film made by The Impossible Project. It looks like they aren’t making it currently however, Id stay tuned because Id bet they will start making it again.

Hey, I’m really diggin’ your shit…well, I’m not actually excavating your feces…you know what I mean. Anyway bro, I’m Adam, you’re Derek, okay, thank fuck that part is over. I’ve been doing photography for the past couple of years, I wouldn’t classify myself as “great”, or “good” even. I’m as medio-core as… 2012 Disney Channel. However, I’d like to say I’m “progressing”. I’m guessing you’ve been doing this for a while, and I was hoping to chat about a few things if you had the time. Thanks.

Hahaha. My appologies on the delayed reply. This got lost in the ol inbox. Nice to meet you Adam.
