Timing has never been my thing. I can’t tell a joke to save my life, I am at least 30 minutes late anywhere I go, and I bought twelve different types of Polaroid cameras the year before they stopped making the film. Fuckers. Now I have all these cameras and my film stock is rapidly depleting, never to be re-stocked. I know, I know, it’s a high class problem, a modern inconvenience, but it still chaps my ass.

Anyway, one of the Polaroids I have is called the Macro SLR-5 and it takes crisp clear shots of something as small as a dime. Dentists use it to snap photos of peoples’ teeth and cops use it for spent bullet holes, spent casings, etc. I thought I would use it to photograph everyone’s eye in the office and see if you could determine whose eye belongs to what face. Kudos to Josh for building something where you all could do that.

By the way, all the head shots in this post I took with an awesome new instant camera Fuji makes. It’s called the Instax 200 and it’s relatively cheap at about $60. The film for it costs about the same as Polaroid film cost, about a dollar per picture. What distinguishes the Fuji Instax 200 film from regular Polaroid film is the dimensions. Since Polaroid owns the patent on their particular size of film, Fuji made a slightly larger format for their film. Anyway, Polaroid left all of its customers high and dry, so I am damn happy Fuji came out with a new instant camera. If I were you, I would check it out.

Sincerely,
