Vegas Thanksgiving





So I flew to Vegas on Tuesday and back on Thursday. It was so much fun! Met up with my mom, grand-mom, and doug. We stayed at the Bellagio and from our room could see the playboy bunny sign on the Palms. We went and saw "O", the Cirque de Soleil show which was AMAZING! Didn't win big but didn't loose much. For sure was a great few days. Since I wont be going home for Christmas I decided to take my mom's gift to her: a blue ipod and ihome. She loved it! Was nice to see her happy. Wish I could have had more time with my mom, but what do you do? Northern California is just so far away. 

Had enchiladas for Thanksgiving and yet again they were delicious. 

Well, this 7 page paper wont write itself (boo...) so I'll check back on you all later

Polaroid Transfers








































I have found some pretty useful web sites for polaroid transfers. Unfortunately there are not too many. Here is what I found:
 www.alternativephotography.com/process_imagetransfers.html
www.alternativephotography.com/process_emulsionlifts.htmt

Both of these sites give some detailed directions on how to create Polaroid Transfers. Ill include some examples of what these may look like
No, these are not my photos, I will post those when I have completed some

HELLO THERE!

 Lets start with some basics. This is a blog about photography. More specifically, MY photography and what I tend to do with it. 
My current assignment: 
experimental photography; mug shots using polaroid transfers onto metal sheets. 

I got my polaroid land camera in the mail today as well as my 669 polaroid transfer film. So this weekend I need to get the rest of my supplies (metal sheets, a roller, some foil pans, mat board) and get going with my mug shots. 
Some of the web sites I am using for inspiration are: www.mugshots.com  and www.funnymugshot.com
Ill post some photos later next week after some test run throughs. Lets hope for the best and see how it turns out
