Though when I was shooting on the ferry this weekend I was scared that the wind might come and steal the Polaroid right out of the camera! Thankfully, it didn't. It's funny how you get used to those little quirks and adapt to it. My cameras have their quirks, but thankfully Polaroid long jump isn’t one of them.

I think this because one of the frames of the sky and pine tree was actually quite interesting. I just found your blog and will return...

I like my Spectra with how it shakes and does the loud whoosh sound as if it were sticking it's big tongue out with a Polaroid. This was delightful to read!

I have a Yashica FX3 which is pretty hit and miss. The only lens I have on it is really wobbly and sometimes it focuses, sometimes it doesn't. hehe thanks Janis. I'm glad I amuse someone.

I'm ALWAYS forgetting to move the ring and have tons of blurred photos taken with it!
