With love from Lubbock, I mean Denton. If you don’t get it we’ll you’ll just have to watch the episode. Zane is awesome and it was so good chatting it out with him. We got really nerdy about Polaroid, like deeply nerdy. I don’t think we’ve ever gone that deep on the chat before. Talked about the love of mechanical cameras and some of the projects Zane is mulling. We talked about his involvement with the Open SX70 Project and some of the awesome contributions he’s made to the project. And then we talked turkey about Texas. Can’t wait to catch up in person and have a meal at mi casita with you man. 

"Hi! I’m Zane Pollard and I am a hobbyist film photographer, sx-70 repairman, and contributor to the opensx70 project. My first foray into film photography was when I got my first film SLR, a Pentax k1000, around 8 years ago. I immediately got hooked on the process of developing and scanning my own film and kept going deeper and deeper into it. Shortly after that, I went into medium format and then finally into my current favorite camera, the polaroid sx-70. I bought my first model 1 and have been shooting on the medium ever since. This led me to get into repairing them and now writing software to control them via the opensx70 platform."
