My photographer friend Tom Bland was visiting the US for the first time, so we did an abbreviated version of the southern California tour. Venice Beach, Griffith Observatory, the Salton Sea (he's a photographer, I had to take him there!), and the Getty. There's so much more to see, but I think we did pretty well for a long weekend.
This was shot with my Polaroid Land Camera, using the Fuji black and white packfilm.
Sidenote: if I edit a picture that I've already linked here, my blog says that it's "not available", even though when you click through, the image is there on flickr. I'm really irritated by this. Does anyone have a solution? I had to repost.

Ghost Koi
A polaroid I took last year at the Japanese Garden at Long Beach State, that I just got around to scanning. The water was dark so I set the dial to "lighten" (precise, yeah??) and so the shutter stayed open a bit longer than normal, creating this slightly blurred effect.
I was looking at this today and made the mistake of wikipedia-ing Koi. I learned all about domesticated carp and how they were bred for color and how they're related to goldfish but aren't goldfish.
Now I'm full of even more useless information.
