I went with Kate,
who takes gorgeous photos with digital and instant cameras. So, naturally, I started
by telling the instructors – Leslie
Adams and Anne Hollond
– that Kate was the photographer. I was just there for fun.
Well, by the end of the workshop, I was singing a different
tune. Turns out, with the right coaching and camera, I am a photographer. (And it is fun!)
After a brief introduction to different instant cameras and
their features, Leslie and Anne took the workshop participants on a guided tour
of the West Bottoms, a fascinating area in Kansas City, not far from downtown. The
skies were gray and rain threatened, but the lighting turned out to be terrific
for instant photography. As we wandered around (and you can wander, even with a
guide), I took a few hesitant shots like this:
And then grew progressively bolder:
Not all of my photos were, shall we say, perfect, but I
captured a few images I really love! This one is my favorite:
To top it all off, Anne and Leslie gave us wonderful little
albums as a workshop keepsake.
I was going to wait and tell you about the workshop when
they have the next one scheduled, but ... I’m all about instant gratification
now. So I couldn’t wait. I’ll post again when the next InstantlyKC Instant Film
Workshop is on the calendar!
For now, look around. Picture the possibilities. What can
you do this summer that you’ve never done before?
