Coconut Bowls & Shadows.
I love these brightly painted (purportedly food-safe) coconut bowls from Indonesia. The know-it-all man at the estate sale where I bought them said they had been lovingly collected by an opera diva on one of her many trips to Asia. They sit on a table in the living room that only gets sunlight in late afternoon, but not in the wintertime. It’s a three-season, spring-summer-fall thing, which was in full effect when I walked in today! The bowls, their colors, and shadows were glowing in the warm-hued, late afternoon sunlight. First, the Polaroids:

Film: Polaroid 600 Color instant film (new-ish…)

Location: Cove Island Park, Stamford, CT
But of course, while the Polaroids were developing (approximately 30 minutes with the Polaroid chemistry these days), I took a shot on my iPhone. And of course, I played with the digital shot in the Hipstamatic app… Here are my favorite edits and variations:
