Polaroid Post: Princeton and New York

This weekend I went to visit my boyfriend who is a senior at Princeton in New Jersey. Princeton has the most beautiful campus I’ve ever seen. Hands down. Even though I am sure there are many more deserving causes for all the money that is poured into building and maintaining the facilities at a school like this, sometimes it is nice to be surrounded by a collegiate wonderland.

The two Polaroids above were taken behind Nassau Hall with Impossible Project film. I really, really like the batch that they came out with this time– it is a lot more like the good Polaroid film and less finicky than previous film attempts by the company. I think the peachy edges of the film are from when I snatched the film from the camera right as it was coming out. The warmth of my hand must’ve made it a bit wonky– but I kind of like it.

And my boyfriend is much better at taking Polaroids, apparently. 😉

This Polaroid was supposed to be really special, but I totally messed it up. Plus it was a little dark. On the bottom right hand corner of the photo, my boyfriend is standing on the inside of the gate. When you are a freshman at Princeton, you walk in the gate towards campus and you don’t walk through the gate until graduation. (So it was supposed to be this symbolic Polaroid… Sean, standing on the inside of the gate facing out…) But I messed it up. I do like how the seal looks on top of the gate, though.


Princeton at night.

We also got the chance to go up to NYC, my favorite place in the world. I’ve never taken better Polaroids than the Polaroids I took in NYC. *le sigh.









It doesn’t get any better than night photos in a favorite place. 🙂
