Laundry

West Virginia


"Every day is laundry day."
Karen Stuebing

This is new instant test film from The Impossible Project. Since I am a member of the Pioneer group, I get to try all the beta films. This is for the SX70 but their ISOs have been too fast so I put it in the Polaroid SLR680 and used the on board flash since it was already getting dark. Now, I'm thinking it will work in the SX70. Oh well, you can't take it back out so I'll have use it up with some really good light.

And unless you're into Polaroid cameras, which 99% of people aren't. you probably have no idea what I'm talking about. :)

As for the quote, when I saw this sitting there, I realized it was a metaphor for my life. LOL.

How true! This made me think of the song, Dirty Laundry as soon as I saw it. Excellent Karen! \/

I have a tip that may help you with the laundry. With shirts and the like,
wear one day, then turn inside out and wear again. As for undergarments
and sox, hey, who's checking anyway?

Hélas une " corvée " inévitable, c'est amusant de la mettre en image.

The first thing that I noticed after the picture itself was today's choice of quotee! And yes, I'm afraid that your second assumption was correct in my case though I did get the bit about "fast ISO". It's picked up the texture of the clothing and the basket very well, and that always speaks to laundry day.

At first I looked for a cat that might be sleeping somewhere in there, but no, its JUST a pile of laundry:) though I wouldn't call it a metaphor for a Polaroid person.

Yeah, mine never, ever seems to be done. :)

Your right, I have no idea of what you are talking about.

Somehow you make laundry seem momentous. :) V

Interesting capture of a moment in time, on a daily basis in most households, Karen.

I think your polaroids are cool. I like the flat tone on the colors, it goes perfectly with the "dull" chore of doing laundry. V

The same is true at our house ... every day.
