Really amazing.
Really sad 
And, may I add, a bloody good reason for why Polaroid should keep making their instant film!  |

That's really, really interesting. It's been done by a few other people but not like 30 years.
Pretty remarkable. |

I laughed.  |

Just goes to show... if you sort through enough internet boogers you can eventually find a real gem.

My birthday. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Phoenix, AZ | | | That makes me feel sad. But at the same time I wonder how he must have felt to have died knowing what a great accomplishment he had made by being so disciplined in his art. People like him that are 200% committed are the reason why we continue to have great art, IMO.

With digital, you don't need poloroid anymore, but it centainly has a quality to it you can't get any other way. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
