16 Foot Drain

You walk the roof of the world here.


Only the clouds are higher

And they are not permanent.

Trees are too distant for the wind to reach

And mountains hide below the horizon.

The wind labours through reed

As though they were the final barrier.

Houses and farms cling like crustations

To the black hull of the earth.

Here, you must walk with yourself,

Or share the spirits of forgotten ages

In Provincetown, Cape Cod

So here we are, whale watching out of the way and walking along the main street of the "gay capital of the USA" - check out the drag queen cycling into the frame in the first image.
Getting a buzz from using the Polacolor 108 film which expired a few years ago.

Route 6a Cape Cod

Route 6a takes you along the length of Cape Cod to Provincetown, the Gay Capital of the USA and a great base for whale watching.
On the way we stopped at a small craft store so Julie could buy Pandora stuff, I went outside and was immediately drawn to the US flag and the thick electricity lines, I had Polaroid Polacolor 108 expired film loaded in my 250 Land Camera.

5th Avenue Blues

Love the expired Polaroid Blue Film, I have some packs still in the fridge but it's becoming increasingly difficult to find at a reasonable price.
This is a "peelapart" 100 type Polaroid pack film, it does record colour but with heavy blue overtones.
The only modern, made today alternative is the Fuji FP3000b black and white film and the Fuji FP100c Colour - both excellent.

FlatIron from Madison Square Park

Polaroid Blue film is getting harder to find at a reasonable price so the stock I do have I try to use with care. This is no bad thing as it forces you to take care with each image. This is the complete opposite to the scatter gun approach of the digital chimpers out there (Chimping, look it up).

Reg was 25 when he died in 1893

When I was a boy Reg still had a head, I wonder what happened to it?
I had forgotten how peaceful this old cemetery was, I even found some relatives from 1823.
I have stocked up on Polaroid Blue film for our New York trip.
