sometimes
i look
up at the sky
and it's so
clear and blue
and
the leaves
so unbelievably red
that i feel like
i am underwater...
like one of
my brother's
paintings.
but
i wasn't
underwater
the past
few days,
but rather
under a pile
of things
to grade...
i had
great plans
for a
the collection collective
on polaroid cameras
this
past
wednesday
but...
that
will wait
until next
week.
i did
get a few
moments
to take my
portrait a day.
here are
they are:
day two: joan
day three: grumpy
it's dark
already
so it will
have to be
an evening
portrait
again
tonight...
but i am off
to a modern dance
performance
with the girls
so they
will
be my models.
i will leave you
with another
polaroid-
the stairway
on the way
out of class.
have a great
weekend!

hi, your polaroids are just plain wonderful in this post !! the shadows in the staircase...ahhhh. your portrait of joan is so nice, keep taking portraits!
Thank you so very much, Gwen, for transforming me through your camera from a stressed-out, frazzled grad student into a glamour girl. Polaroids are so magical- especially watching them develop, waiting to see the light and color unfold. I am so grateful for your amazing friendship!!!

Oh, how I love the description of feeling like you are underwater... and of course, those self portraits too.
see you, g
Loving these latest polaroids and seconding all of the above.
Cheers, LJ
the polaroids are beautiful! i love this post :)
I empathise, I'm only just crawling out now from under a big pile of grading myself.
Phew!
Love the stairwell shot.
another amazing photo.
its actually arriving at something i strive to capture in my work, but rarely can nail down. perhaps i should switch to photography.
your polaroids are breathtaking...I can't stop looking at them!
