Polaroid Film

Some old Polaroid film I found. I remember shooting some of it back in the day; around 1987 or so. Didn't shoot but a couple rolls of it, but now's my chance to shoot it again.

I shot a few rolls of Polaroid film back in the mid-1980s, mainly because it was cheap.

This was a picture of me when I lived in Florida. I had my camera on a tripod and took it near Jacksonville Beach. It's an extreme crop of a picture that originally included two of my buddies standing next to me. I was looking in their direction.

The original shot for this was taken on Jacksonville Beach, Florida, when I was down there in 1987. I just edited it and added the movie poster lettering for fun.
