Mimi One Year Ago

March 27, 2010 | Filed Under Personal, Polaroid | Leave a Comment 

It was one year ago today that Mimi passed. It’s hard to believe it’s been that long. We now live in her old house and Big Daddy is with us here too. I told Big Daddy today that I think she’d be pretty happy to know our situation here.

We went by her grave today and I took these two polaroids to remember it. Above is her grave stone with her favorite color flowers. Mollie mentioned that right away when we got there. Below is Lola, one of Mimi’s great grandchildren. Lola got her first haircut today, and it kind of looks like childhood pictures of Mimi.

Big Daddy has been sharing some of Mimi’s journal writings with us. Yesterday he sent this quote:

“Love is seeking the highest good for others whether they deserve it or not. Therefore, Love is an action – not a passion. Marraige is not so much finding the right person as it is being the right person. The surest way to be fully loved is to love fully.”
- Elizabeth Gurganus

No doubt, Mimi fully loved and was fully loved in return. Today we remember her and are thankful again for her impact on our lives.

Polaroid 600 Dark Slide

Did some work on a personal project today. For now, the dark slide from my 600 pack film is all you can see. I’m looking forward to how this is going to turn out. If nothing else, I’m having a lot of fun working on this.

Polaroid Portrait

I shot a couple head shots on Polaroid today for local photographer and friend Jeff Hall. Look for the launch of his new website jeffhallphoto.com later this week. He’s got lots of new portfolio images to show.

Coffee Underground

I frequently have meetings at a nice local coffee shot downtown called Coffee Underground. A couple weeks back I shot this Polaroid with a Mamiya RX 67 during one of these meetings. This particular meeting was with a fellow photographer so it’s all cool.

I really liked the subtleties of how this turned out. If there is one thing better than the instant gratification of shooting digital, it’s the instant gratification of shooting instant film. :)

If you’re from Greenville and havn’t checked it out, you should. If your not from Greenville and ever pass through, it’s a cool spot.
