The moment Columbia scored the go-ahead goal, which was disallowed for offsides by a toe, on VAR. The atmosphere at Chase Center was fantastic all game! #WorldCup #Polaroid
A large crowd is gathered outdoors , many with their arms raised in celebration after Columbia broke the 0-0 tie late in the match against Portugal.  This was before they learned the goal was disallowed for offsides.  The photo is in black and white and has the white border that all Polaroids have.

I had a good Sunday yesterday! Dropped off art for a #Polaroid show opening on Friday at the new Lee's Launderette gallery and then went to play in a charity #Pinball tournament which I won! Got to flip with friends and donated the prize money I won back to the charity!
two photos of a man in a pink t-shirt holding something in his hands.  The photo on the left shows him standing in front of a gated business called Lee's Launderette holding a framed Polaroid print.  The photo on the right he is standing in front of the entrance to Free Gold Watch, the pinball arcade and is holding a First Place pin-golf trophy.  He is smiling more in the photo on the right.

and the smoking lounges are back at LAS airport too - and the payouts are higher on the poker machines like they used to be when the smoking lounges were around before they went away. Guess the decline in tourism to Las Vegas is bringing these back. So pro tip - gamble in these for higher payouts!
A brightly lit gaming lounge featuring multiple slot machines is visible through glass. The lounge allows smoking inside (but not weed!) Two people are walking past the lounge, one carrying a backpack. The interior has modern design elements with glossy floors and decorative lighting.

was cool to see Jean-Luc Godard playing #pinball in Linklater's Nouvelle Vague. It was a Swing Along which came out in 1963 while Breathless came out in 1960 but if you watch the film the 'continuity' would be something Godard wouldn't GAF about 😂
