Move Over Barbie: This Dress Up Is for Real

Move Over Barbie: This Dress Up Is for Real | Nerdy Needs | Scoop.it
From www.bust.com - May 16, 2013 2:32 PM

Austin, Texas based “lifestyle” photographer Jaime C. Moore is sick of Barbie. And Disney Princesses too. Now before your feathers get all ruffled, let’s talk about why. As the mother of a 5 year-old daughter and a professional photographer, Jaime wanted to take photos of her daughter in new and creative ways that would not only look great on film, but also get her daughter thinking about the kind of woman she can grow up to be. So she turned to real women like Marie Curie, Sojourner Truth and those featured here for inspiration, and what came out, is absolutely beautiful and inspiring.

Deanna Dahlsad's insight:

So awesome, I could scream!

The Magic Of Polavision | Inherited Values

The Magic Of Polavision | Inherited Values | Nerdy Needs | Scoop.it
From www.inherited-values.com - March 18, 2013 2:10 PM

This is a Polavision camera: Polaroid’s first and only foray into self-developing movie film.

 

Yes, that’s the part that blew my mind:  the magical Polaroid 600 film that everyone shakes like a Polaroid picture is awe-inspiring enough, so doing that at 20 or 30 frames a second blows my mind.  The film was, technically, 8mm film, but it wasn’t the same beast.   The film was pre-loaded in a cartridge, along with a reservoir of developing fluid.  The movie was filmed in a Polaroid camera, like any other normal home movie.   The specialized player did most of the work:  the first time a cartridge was played, the player released the developing fluid, and in 20 seconds the whole movie was ready to be watched.
