Over the past few days, I have been astounded at the wealth of generosity shown to me in this little blogging and photography pocket of the world. To all of you who have offered me help to track down some of the precious Polaroid film, I thank you from the bottom of my instant shoot [...]

January is usually an awesome, laid back, summery month for me but on this side of the globe I feel like making it to February was an achievement.
