Adventures in Instantland

Look-ey what arrived on my doorstep yesterday... Words cannot describe my excitement! Only high pitched squeals will do. Yippee!




In case you are wondering what in the world this is, it is a Fujifilm Instax Mini 7 Instant Camera (a.k.a. Fujifilm's version of a newfangled Polaroid). It produces credit card sized instant pics and with a little bit of exploration (two packs of film) I am learning to embrace the imperfection and delight in the surprise. Here are a few experiments...












(The photo on the right is what happens when you cover the flash... guess I won't do that again.)

There are not enough hours in the day for how many ideas I have for this thing. Stay posted for more Adventures in Instantland.

About Caroline

I decided my destiny was to be an artist at age five when I won an honorable mention in a art competition in kindergarten. Ever since then I have been following a dream that has manifested itself in a variety of rewarding and delightful ways. I have practiced in the field of graphic design for over 8 years and recently acquired my Masters in Graphic Design at NC State University in Raleigh, NC (check out my design portfolio by clicking here if you like). But a passion that has stuck with me ever since I got my hands on my first Nikon camera in my undergraduate art education at Florida State University is photography. The instruction I received there was but a seed in what would develop over the next years of my life. Recently I have begun photographing people in their celebrations of life and could not feel any more blessed to be a part of capturing those memories.

About This Blog

A great american writer once wrote, "If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy. If it were merely challenging, that would be no problem. But I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world, and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan my day." EB White penned the thoughts of my own heart. One part of me is a graphic designer working to challenge the world, seeking out problems and striving to create avenues for change. The other part is seeking out the beauties of the world and working to capture them in our memories forever through photography. This is what you will find here. Me enjoying the world. I have been truly fortunate to photograph such incredible people at truly beautiful moments in life. I can only hope that the images I've collected will forever keep alive those thoughts and emotions that swelled in their hearts and minds that day.
