Just for fun really, I've taken to waking before dawn and dragging the old Sinar (I mention the brand only because I always wanted to own one but until digital killed film I could never justify the expense - now you can buy what is new an extremely expensive camera for a few hundred dollars. C'est la vie) down to the beach to photograph the piers...I'm not sure why beyond the obvious. I didn't grow up with them so I find them bizarre and strange and kind of wonderful....and I've always loved the polaroid palette...even though it comes courtesy of Fuji now. But you do have to put up with the weird magenta streaking. And its good for the soul to get away from the digital instant gratification thing. Strange to think that a sixty second wait can no longer be regarded as instant.
