Rosilyn Unplugged
Last month Ros turned 13. a week or so ago with the crown graphic in one hand, tripod in the other, we set out for a 3/4 mile walk out into the desert. I had 10 Polaroids that i had saved for just this shoot. i set up the tripod, mounted the camera, focused and composed the frame. My right hand holding the first Polaroid sheet while my left goes to pick up the….. pick up the… pick up the film holder? forgot it. hmmm. pull the camera off the tripod, fold the tripod up. Ros still in pose tilts her head just a little to the right, i took that as a question, “i left the Polaroid holder at home” i said. the only reaction, just a little smile. we walk back 3/4′s of mile. I grab the holder. We walk back out 3/4′s of mile to the same spot. i set up slowly and patiently. It was a nice quiet walk with a strong breeze. I’m glad i forgot the holder the first time around.

John, thanks for sharing such wonderful images. Your Polaroid shots of your daughter are amazing. When you look back on these images years gone by, you are going to remember exactly who she was at the time. Keep on sharing.
Is this D’s daughter? If so, I see a HUGE resemblance.
John,
Great as always! Ros is turning into a beautiful young lady. I’m sure you are already starting on cleaning your gun collection when the boys come around, right!?!
I love your polaroid shots. I’m sure you have been stocking up on film. One day when i grow up I want to be as cool as you are!
Have a Blessed Day!
