Art & Adventure with PJ Ortiz Luis
The online portfolio of Pacifico "PJ" Ortiz Luis, a storyteller utilizing different mediums of art including film photography, dance, and performance poetry.
This is a composition entitled "Long Distance Relationship". It's about me and my girlfriend, living in two different parts of California. I don't think I need to go deeper into our story, because the picture speaks for itself.
i picked up a Minolta Instant Pro for my upcoming trip to northern california. its the exact same camera as the Polaroid Spectra System, except this one is licensed by Minolta. i went ahead with this camera mainly because its harder to find this compared to its Polaroid counterpart. I also picked up a roll of original Polaroid Spectra film [expired 10/2007] to use this weekend. the film still works!
i don't know if i want to keep this for my collection, or re-home it to somebody that loves instant film more than i do.
my first Polaroid in...18 years? not a big fan of polaroids....but i got suuuuper lucky that one of the polaroids i bought still had original Polaroid film in it.[they no longer make the film, or own the rights to make it] i think i may pick up a pack of Impossible Project film for my upcoming trip to norcal.

I have a few new additions to my camera family. I go camera hunting quite often, and come across some real gems that people seem to overlook...so I adopt them and give them a better home.
I say it often, but I'm not that big a fan of Polaroid style film cameras. [which I'll blog about sometime in the future] but now that I'm accumulating a good number, I think it's time for me to go and grab some Impossible Project film.
