art + photography

Inspired by Jeremy Stockwell’s picture-in-a-picture Polaroid shots, I took these photos in front of the Volkswagen dealership on Mission Street in Daly City. As much as I’m a fan of the VW GTI, I’m not in the market for one. But, VW had the best balloons, with happy carnival colors and I just couldn’t resist using them as props for this set of photos.

As I was doing my thing, a salesman approached me and asked what I was doing. I said, “I’m just taking pictures for fun.” As I handed him my blogger card, I said, “You can see these pictures on my blog tomorrow.” Then he said, “What’s a blog?” Hey you guys, we’re on the bleeding edge. :)

The instant photos were taken with my beloved bastard camera, my Holgaroid, and the enclosing photos were taken with my D40 Nikon, with a fixed 35mm lens. I’m pleased with how they turned out.

I hope you guys are enjoying your weekend. I will see you on Monday for Flickr Fave. :)
