polaroid one step

self portraits w/ Polaroid One Step [shot by a table lamp]

i went to a party in shreveport last night, and hit some junk stores today before coming home. i found an old Polaroid one step and got it - and also another old "peel apart film" Polaroid 104 Land camera, and a 3D camera. very weird camera. cant wait to try it out.

i'll post the 3D stuff -and polaroid 104 stuff- when i run a roll/pack through it. i cleaned the cable ends and hooked up a battery in the 104 and the shutter worked... so voila! it might be cool because it has two different size lens 'holes'- one big one for color and a small one for b&w- but, i think the color setting would work with low light. i'll play with it when i get up!

the above are test shots i did with some fresh 600 film w/the One Step. as it doesn't have a flash i stood by a bedside lamp. the camera seems to stick/pause when you press the button, which makes for blurry images... which i like.
