LC No. 60 - ($2.99 Per Pack)
Some skaters hanging out at the local convenience store on a hot day near Dunnellon, Florida. Shot with a Polaroid Land Camera Automatic 100 on Fuji FP100C peel-apart film.
My wife & I came across these dudes on our way to a nearby state park and it really brought back memories for me. I remember skipping class to skate for hours with my buddies Pete and Phil. I'd take pictures of them doing tricks and then we would pool our money together and get a giant Gatorade to share as we sat outside against the wall watching all the people and imagining what our futures would hold.
Phil is a doctor now in Maryland. Pete is a software technician in New York. I'm still taking pictures and skateboarding in Florida.

Hey - thanks - I wish they would have printed the true border as a Polaroid - but still very glad to have it published.

Looks like my neighborhood, except now they're older and hang out next to their trucks.
