Well I finally got a Polaroid SX-70 and could use the awesome Fade to Black film I had bought in NYC when I visited the newly opened Impossible Project space.
I decided to enjoy the beautifully sunny, warm day (Thursday, Sept 2, 2010) by working on this personal project and using the film by walking around my neighborhood, the Mission, and finding random folks to take portraits of at some of my favorite spots. I also asked them to write down one word that they could relate to currently. Here’s what I got!
Photo 1: Breegan (pronounced BRE’-gun) – “adventure” – taken on Guerrero Street between 18th and 17th
Photo 2: Nicolas (he was with his family, who were all vacationing from Chile) – “laik to play” (sic) – taken at the top of Dolores Park
Photo 3: Karina – “achievement of wishes” – she was laying out in Dolores Park
Photo 4: Dylan Hadley – “happy” – Corner of Valenica & 16th Street
Photo 5: Kalie – “hotdiggitydog!” just outside of Bi-Rite Creamery
Photo 6: Dave (in hat) “peer pressure” and Brooks (laughing) “Peacock!” at Castro Beach up on Dolores Park
Photo 7: Risa “Be One w/the Wobble” at the Dolores Park Slack Lines
