Polaroids From The Pandemic – S15E11

It’s been tough to shoot Polaroids during the pandemic because of the physical distancing and a lot of events being cancelled.

Several of the film packs are set to expire in August.

With some creativity, I used the Polaroid Lab to take some of the foodie photos from the iPhone to Polaroid. The food photos were taken between April to June.

On Tuesday afternoon, I finally had a chance to take some Polaroids for a friend as I haven’t seen her for a long time.

We have been playing Pokémon Go and sending gifts. It was nice to catch up and take some creative photos.

Happy Canada Day (2020 Edition) – S15E09

Happy Canada Day!

There were no events happening in Ottawa and throughout the country because of the on-going COVID-19 pandemic.

For this year, I decided to jog and walk from Lansdowne Park to downtown Ottawa. People were still out and about on Canada Day but it was not as busy. The weather was pretty hot but not overly humid from the week prior.

Since March, I haven’t been able to take any Polaroid photos and the films are nearing expiration. It was fitting to take some Polaroids on the excursion.
