i took my camera to the beach


This past weekend I went to the beach twice! I forget how lucky I am to be living so close to the ocean. And I also forget how close the ocean really is! I took full advantage of the warm, summer weather we had, and spent one relaxing day in Santa Monica/Malibu, and one in Venice. These are just a few photos from the Santa Monica beach.

I love my SX-70 so much! For a while, I thought it was broken. I would put a new film cartridge in, I would take a few photos, then put it away. The next time I opened it up to take more photos, it wouldn't work! I realized that it wasn't my camera that was broken, but my film cartridge that went dead. Each cartridge has a little battery in it, which is what spits the polaroids out. So now, I take lots of pics in the matter of an hour or so. Which is fine with me. It's hard to stop anyway! If you're looking for sx-70 film, I ordered mine from here.

I'm glad you liked my tulip photos! :)

    These pictures are so great. They seem so inviting and it makes me wish I lived close to a beach.

    Love these pics -- they look like there from another time...Priscilla's 1950's LA period.

    I'm mighty jealous that you have a polaroid camera, I can't seem to find one anywhere :(

    It takes great photos, with a little help from you of course.

    I am so jealous. First of all, living in belgium summer weather is at the moment still a utopian dream. second, as a surfer living more than a 200 miles from the nearest beach is hell. but you picture eases the pain a lot.

    thanks
