Poladroids

The other day I heard about the Poladroid application and couldn't resist giving it a try. I had a pretty good time dropping photos in and watching the polaroids develop on my desktop. Here are a few photos that have appeared on the blog before:



The title image (a bug and some flowers in Eichstätt, Germany), and the pilot from July 12th.




The fish in an Astoria fish market from July 25th, and the church from just the other day. Actually, I really like the way Poladroid cropped the church picture. I'm thinking I should have cropped it the same.


And here are a couple that have not appeared before:



Shannon and me on the traditional Marshallese canoe, and a half-developed self-portrait aboard the USS Missouri. You can save copies of the poladroids at any point while they're developing just by clicking on them.


Update: Hmm.. the first time around I didn't label this post with the categories appropriate to each picture. I should probably do that. Otherwise, this lovely photo of Shannon and myself will not show up when you look at the 'Marshall Islands' posts :P Fixing it right now.. that's a lot of categories.

Time traveling to the USS Missouri

Since the Marshall Islands are on the other side of the International Dateline, I got to travel back in time on my way home!

I spent all day Tuesday in Majuro, where I watched the sun set on August 12th. The next morning, I got on a plane at dawn on August 13th.
A few hours later, I landed in Honolulu on August 12th, where I spent my second Tuesday. (I had an all-day layover, so I took a bus to Pearl Harbor and toured the USS Missouri, where WWII ended with the signing of the Japanese Instrument of Surrender.)
That evening, I saw my second August 12th sunset from the Honolulu airport, and watched the sun rise on August 13th once again from LAX.

There's a gallery with a few more photos of Mighty Mo.
