#mint camera

Sept. 9th 2020. It seemed that all of California was seeing orange or blood red skies due to the many fires happening at the same time. I figured it would be a good time to do a little photowalk around Levi’s Stadium to capture such a rare occurrence. No matter where I snapped a photo, I was always getting this orange tint. You can see the difference in colors with the LED signage of the stadium. The smoke is still thick, and i’m hoping we can get rain really soon to wash the fires away...

I’m a little bummed out that I can’t use the flash on my 680 cameras with this even though they showed it off on their Instagram with a 680. They didn’t specify that but at least I can use it with my mint 670S. Looking forward to running all the limited itype film packs through this thing.

Some recent Polaroids I shot for Ta-Ku’s Hopes and Dreams Club/823 project. The theme was “Alone Together”, so I shot some still life stuff around the house since I didn’t want to go out to find stuff to shoot. I hope all of you are doing well and taking care of yourselves during this really weird time. For any creatives out there, I hope you’re staying inspired, and I hope you still have the drive to keep creating. I also hope none of you are struggling or going through any tough times right now, and if you are, i’m sure you’ll make it out of it. <3

Polaroids from the PolaCon Night Walk with Glass Key Photo, EBPCO, and SF Instant Photowalk last week. We walked through Chinatown and made our way to Golden Boy Pizza. Pretty crazy to see Chinatown so empty. All of these were shot with the MiNT SLR670s and 600 film.

Polaroids from the first SF Instant Photo Walk of the year with Glass Key Photo, San Francisco. We walked over to the Clay Theatre to snap photos since it had it’s last showing the night before and walked over to Japantown. I had a really great time shooting. I was feeling very inspired to snap random photos, and we got really lucky with all the sunshine. For anyone that’s in the Bay Area, Glass Key Photo has an Instant Photo walk at the last Sunday of every month 12pm-3pm. All instant photography is welcome, from Instax to peel apart, to Spectra to 600/SX-70.

Some recent Polaroid work I did of hip hop musician Stay Amplified for San Jose’s Content Magazine’s most recent issue, which is currently on news stands right now. I really like how these came out, but I was limited on time and film to shoot anymore...

Continuing my Silicon Valley project with Polaroids from Facebook’s Classic Campus. Always wanted to shoot around at night because of the neon signage, but I really should’ve shot the Arcade entrance a different way and I really should’ve shot the Ice Cream shop during the day. Maybe next time when I have more time. The signage saying “The Hacker” actually says “The Hacker Company” but it was too dark for my camera to pick up.

Cantor Arts and Stanford Campus, shot on MiNT InstantKon RF70. I never get tired of walking on campus and wandering around. It feels so lush with all the trees. One of my favorite places in the Bay Area to visit cause it’s free, and no one really minds that you take photos.
