Amber Rose McConnell and Allie Summers in the worlds fastest shoot (Patreon)

Allie Summers came over a couple weeks ago to go out and shoot some photos in nature with me.  I don't remember the exact situation, but Amber wanted to come along, but was either heading to work, or heading to a shoot of her own, so we decided to shoot some Instax in the backyard.  I got this new Lomography Instax Camera, and honestly its a pretty awesome camera it has all the bells and whistles I've sort of been hoping to get with the incredible quality of Instax film.

Side Quest coming

As soon as I started shooting photography I fell in love with instant film.  I shot polaroid 600, I shot 8x10 and 4x5 polaroid a bunch right up to and even past the point that they stopped making it.  

I've been holding out hope that Impossible Project would make some pack film that I liked, but I've given up.  The contrast, consistancy, and price is just never going to be there fore me.  Then I was holding out hope that fuji would take their fantastic film and put it in a pack that fit a Spectra of 600 camera, but that doesn't seem to be likely either.  The Impossible Peal apart film for large format is fucking amazing though, so hopefully I can get my hands on that down the line.

A couple months ago, maybe years I don't know I'm not a super gear head when it comes to photography, Lomo released the Instax Mini camera, and now finally we have one for wide film.  I'll probably make a video while we are in Iceland using it because its seriously cool.

Back to our shoot

So I take the instax camera out back, and take a couple photos, and quickly realize that I had 4 shots less than I thought, and decided that we should do a couple quick digital too.  I shot 48 photos on my new camera, and that was that.  Amber ran off to work, and Allie, Nicole and I went off to the woods.

Still I think its a testament to a few things how great these turned out.

1. Amber and Allie are awesome
2. The light in the PNW is kind of the best.
3. I'm a super lucky photographer to have so many talented people coming around.
