Photographic proof that the folding SX-70 Polaroid camera was brought to us directly from heaven.
One of my favorite cameras to shoot.
SuperAmit needs your help by lomokev
This is Amit Gupta aka SuperAmit as he is know on flickr & twitter AKA the guy that started Photojojo.
Amit recently started feeling tired all the time, usually when this happens to a San Francisco start up CEO it’s just “burn out” but unfortunately this was not the case. It turns out he has Leukemia. At the moment he is going through chemo but once done he will need a bone marrow transplant for the best chance of survival. Unfortunately because of his ancestry it’s tough to find a donor as not many people of South Asian decent are on the transplant register. If you are off South Asian decent (Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Nepalis, Bhutan, Maldives, or Sri Lankan) you can get a free mouth swab kit to see if you are compatible donor (if you live in the United States or Puerto Rico).
If your not of South Asian decent or reside outside of the united states you can still help by: re-blogging this tumbler post and genrally spreading the word.
Please help, Amit is a super cool guy he works hard and is definitely nice to people so deserves to get through this.

“A wide field meteor camera at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center recorded this spectacular meteor breaking up in Earth’s atmosphere on Sept. 30, 2011, 8:37 p.m. EDT. Also visible is a star-like object moving slowly toward the upper middle of the field of view — the upper stage of the Zenit booster that launched the Russian Cosmos 2219 intelligence satellite back in 1992. Orbiting 500 miles above Earth, this empty rocket body can get bright enough to be seen with the unaided eye.”
Love it.
