Welcome to the second installment of Camera Crimes [view the first installment here: http://thedailymobile.posterous.com/camera-crimes-disheveled-in-a-red-KC

My friend Jarret Anderson turned me onto the iphoneography technique I used to take this self-portrait: Press the shutter button and them immediate spin/flip the phone in the air. You get crazy horizon-bending results like this. Works best in very bright situations.

On Monday my Dad and I decided to share a photo day in Toronto. At the last minute, rather than take my DSLR, I decided to pull my Mamiya RZ67 out of mothballs and shoot the box of Sepia Paul Giambarba Edition Polaroid Type 100 ISO 1500 film I purchased at The Impossible Project store in New York way back in November.

The Impossible Project is an organization that is attempting to keep instant Polaroid-style photographer alive by manufacturing their own instant film to replace the nearly-gone stock of Polaroid manufactured film.

There’s a photo of my Dad, Rod, in the lower left corner.

My Grandfather, Vic, was one of seven Brazier brothers who all served in the Second World War — and, miraculously, all returned home safely. This amazing fact along with the brothers and their families involvement in the Bracebridge community prompted the city to dedicate the new playground in their honour. My Dad, brother, sister and I were in the park before the dedication ceremony to help put some finishing touches on the new playground. Here’s a picture of my Dad and brother getting the ground ready for laying sod:

Changing out of my work clothes for the ceremony, I noticed this small, fuzzy spider had taken a liking to my striped shirt and snapped a few shots. Wish I had a macro lens for my iPhone.
