Out of all the Polaroid cameras I have, my favorite one by far is the Spectra System. A while back, my husband purchased me a Close-up attachment kit for it. Policemen used to use them for photographing evidence. I’m not sure if they still do, but I do!

I haven’t written an entry in a great long time, so I’d like to show you the macros I’ve been shooting as of late.

I’m going to try and keep this short. You can click through the last four beneath this to see full detail of the photos.
