I guess the selection of books on my desk tell the story.

So it may seem odd that it’s taken this long - but I’m learning the word ‘NO’. I may also experiment a bit with ‘MAYBE!’ - remember you heard it here first.

This week’s Illustration Friday’s theme is ‘choose’. So I went with the classic ‘coffee OR tea’ scenario - tossed in a robot butler (because I don’t draw ENOUGH robots) and had some fun with a really limited palette, and some low contrast - I think it has an interesting feel.

I wasn’t surprised by the announcement that Polaroid was ceasing production of instant film, instant film is just one of latest digital photography victims, don’t get me wrong I love digital photography, but it’s not without it’s downside.

• The art of making prints is all but lost.
• Now EVERYONE is a photographer
• Cell phones cameras are everywhere - privacy is non-existent
• People learned the word ‘MEGA-PIXELS’

Pictured above are my (left to right); Kodak Kodamatic Champ, Polaroid OneStep CloseUp and my Polaroid SX-70 Land Camera (with sonar) just 3 of the notable 5 instant cameras I have - no doubt film will still be available, just at a premium price.
