Hasselblad + Polaroid back

---

To say that I fell hard for the Hasselblad and Polaroid back combo would be an understatement. I was one of those rare photographers who did not care to own a Hasselblad before I tried the Polaroid back. I knew, and feared, that the one thing that might make me change my mind about it would be borrowing the back. And I was right. In the last week, I've wondered what I could sell to afford a Hasselblad (Canon 24-70, anyone?) and scoured KEH for cheap parts to build a system from. It's probably not going to happen in a while, but I think that'll be my next camera (or I might spend $200 and get a beat up RB67 and Polaroid back). In the meantime, I'll have to work on the sharpness, maybe by cleaning the rollers.

And for good measure, some fun portraits I made of my Italian boy with the not-so-Italian-looking Barilla boy. He's not as adorable as the little Barilla boy, but he's close.

This still life kick I've been on is going to financially ruin me, not just in film, but in beautiful items that I've been collecting since moving in. Not that I wouldn't be buying them if I didn't photograph them, but it's a bigger incentive and, even worse, an excuse. "I just need this to use as a prop" is something Brent has been hearing lately. It's usually followed by "I'll put prints up on Etsy to pay for them" which is never followed by the act of putting prints up for sale.
