Hello again! It’s Erin, back with some more instant photography as promised.

As I discussed in my last post, instant photography is one of my all-time favorite art forms. From America, I brought my mini instant camera, a model which is very popular here in Japan, called the Instax Mini. The small rectangular film which is about the size of a business card is very fun to use and a lot cheaper than Polaroid film, making it great both for casual shooting and artistic captures.

I took this image last winter in South Carolina. This is my Dad! Isn’t he cool? He is a fan of Harley Davidson motorcycles. He named this motorcycle “Bruce” after his father, my grandfather. I love the colors and reflections in this photo.

Here he is again with me in a quick selfie. I miss my Dad! Thankfully I talk to him every day. Hopefully, I can convince him to visit me in Japan one day.

From selfies to fine portraiture, it's the artistry and science behind instant photography will never fail to inspire me.
