Old School Polaroid Transfers
Sometimes we only realize that an experience was really magical whenwe look back on it.ย The afternoon I took this photo I was completelyaware that it was a real gift be able to share this kind of creative adventure.When he was feeding the bird I saw something that perfectly represented what Iwas feeling. After the image was completed it took on an additional meaning,more of a spiritual representation of past and present, ghosts and memories.
This image was created using the Polaroid transfer process, whichalways has a large element of chance involved no matter how well you know it. Ilove surprises and the unpredictable interaction with the medium along with thetruly old school process.
Iโm a Polaroid geek. Film has gotten more rare & pricy but nowwe can all be digital Polaroid geeks with iPhone apps like Shakeitphoto. I use this mac app called Instantย .ย Its really useful for blurring a pixelated iPhone pic just enough and making it cool.ย
I've actually done a photo series Iโve done using a broken digital camera. Once again Iโm drawn to an unpredictable process and a reflection onmemory and nostalgia.
