Ben and Becca do San Fran

    |    Posted by Becca on September 27th, 2009    |    Becca's life

My dear brother Ben welcomed me to his hometown San Francisco last weekend.  I gave myself a break and took only pictures with the  SX-70 Polaroid camera that he had given me for my birthday.    Polaroid cameras are magic to me in their ability to emphasize the fleeting nature of a moment.  You shoot the picture- it grabs the moment and makes a big noise announcing it, and your record of that life-blip immediately feeds out of the end of the camera.  You only get one chance.  It’s always like that, with any camera.  A moment can never be re-made.  But these cameras seem to drive it home for me.

There are a few that we took with Ben’s point and shoot at the end.
