Portuguese Polaroids

I recently took a trip to Portugal and found the tiles the most appealing part of the trip. Here are some I fancied. 

Up the Pink

Pink is a funny colour. It's cliche, feminine, flowery and frilly. It may not be edgy or strong but I love it. Embrace the pink ladies! 

I hope you like this one, it was taken with a 2 year old 110 film from a toy camera that my friend gave me for my birthday. I'd forgotten what was on the film. I especially like my shadow fingers sticking out in the bottom left corner, I must of been concentrating hard on composition & being careful not to put my fingers over the lens!)

A beautiful day

I'm in Sydney for the 2010 Hair Expo waiting for my partner in crime Wendell Teodoro to arrive. It's a gorgeous day outside so why not enjoy the sunshine and the water with some polaroid goodness?

Instant Gratification

I hope you all managed to devour yourself with chocolate, sleep ins and a long lazy Easter Sunday morning.  I spent the Sunday at Brighton beach and snapped this instant pic of the coloured houses (a Melbourne icon). I love my instax mini camera, it brings me great joy.  

Instant Spring!

Spring has finally made it to the Southern Hemisphere and to celebrate here is a pretty photo of a cherry blossom tree taken with my instax mini camera. Instax minis are like a mini version of a polaroid and print out lovely credit card sized photos small enough for your wallet but big enough to cheer you up after a long winter. Best of all they conquor my short attention span!

Unfortunately these pint sized picture makers are very hard to come by but like anything these days you can find them online!

If you're lucky enough to have a friend visiting, live in, or are going to Japan get them to pick up one of these babies. They cost around $30-$60(AUD) over there and of course pick up a bunch of film as well.

Flickr has a great instax mini group, be inspired by instax mini!
