All kinds of weather, we stick together

Sisters, sisters
There were never such devoted sisters...

Oh, hi! 

My sisters are all pretty awesome (and cute), but only one of them let me talk her into being in an art exhibit with me.

That sister is Alexandra Kassing.  She's a fantastic painter.  And she lives in South Carolina, which means I don't get to see her nearly enough, and we've never been in any shows together.

I nagged her into applying to an exhibit at the St. Louis Artists' Guild with me, and hey yay — we both got in!

The exhibit is Lay of the Land, and it opens this Friday, August 24, at the Artists' Guild.  Come!

It's Roid Week! (Friday)

Untitled, a photo by Hilary (curioush) on Flickr.

Roid Week is a celebration of instant film, on Flickr. See all about it (and other people's photos) here.

This photo was taken on S. Jefferson Ave. in south St. Louis.

I used a Holga camera with a Polaroid back (affectionately known as a Holgaroid), with Polaroid Type 89 pack film (which is no longer made and past its expiration date by a few years, so I keep my last few remaining packs in the fridge for special occasions, like Roid Week!)

This is the last remaining location of Globe Drugs in St. Louis. Globe Drugs — for the uninitiated — is part pharmacy, part wine/spirits store, and (I would say) mostly variety store.

There are so so so many things there, at low low prices. What's in stock changes frequently. Expect the unexpected, for sure. Go check it out!

This photo is a Polaroid transfer. I took the photo with my regular digital camera, printed the photo, and then exposed the image to Polaroid Type 669 pack film (which is no longer made and past its expiration date by a few years, so I keep my last few remaining packs in the fridge for special occasions, like Roid Week!)

After the image is exposed to the pack film, the negative is separated from the positive, and the negative is printed onto something else (in this case, watercolor paper).
