OK Diner is Open

I love taking photos of diners, signs, neons etc. Endless subject matter in the USA but we seem to have far fewer here. Some may say that's may good thing.
Stopped off at the OK Diner on the A1 Northbound near Stamford with the Polaroid 103 Land Camera loaded with Fuji FP100c instant film

Provincetown Harbour

We had gotten up early to drive the 6a to Provincetown to go whale watching.
These are the cute huts that line up along the harbour, some are selling paintings, some tickets for the boats.

Freedom Tower

We'd gotten off the bus at World Trade Centre stop. Already had our entry passes to the 9/11 Memorial so we walked on and were confronted by the looming spectacle of the nearly completed Freedom Tower. Tha stars and stripes were fluttering from a nearby building.
A jet airliner flew past and that was such a strange moment.

9/11 Memorial

We queued a while to get into the memorial site at Ground Zero. Once we'd got past the inevitable airport security we were blown away at the peace and tranquility of the place despite lots of people milling around.
Also met a guy who worked for Polaroid for 8 years

More New York Streets

Still wandering with the 103 Land camera looking for images on the go.

new York Streets #1

Time to wander from the Hotel, this is mid town NYC on a hot ealry August morning. Polaroid Land Camera in hand looking for instant (in more ways than one) shots of streeet life.
Store dummies and the man in the white shirt coming towards me - no time to think, shoot and peel!

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.

Polaroid Fenland Project

An on going project to document the Fenland area around Warboys using mainly instant film, in this case Fuji 3000B pack film in my Polaroid 103 Automatic Land camera.
This film has a box speed of 3000 ISO and is VERY sensitive to the smallest light leaks in these old cameras. This 103 is one of my better pack cameras and leaks are generally few and far betweem.
With this project I am trying to record the essence of the fens, straight roads (droves), drainage ditches and wonky electricity poles feature heavily.

Another Place

Antony Gormley's "Another Place" has fascinated me since my first visit 4 years ago.
The statues cover 2 miles of beach and the cast iron figures are cast from his own body - much like his famous "Angel of the North"
Thought they needed the Polaroid treatment
