Did a portrait series of the Luceo folks on the last night of our meeting. More Polaroids with a little experimental twist tossed in. Photographing photographers is a little stressful –ok, a lot stressful. Took a few quiet minutes with Kevin German to play around with some test frames and get my head on straight before calling everyone out, one at a time. After 50 frames, a pep talk from German, and a couple hours, I felt like I came away with something I could be proud of.
Kendrick did a fun series of Polaroid 600s in 2007 and just posted it to her blog, here. There’s still something incredibly appealing about these old analogues. With any luck, Fuji will keep this stuff in production for the foreseeable future. I’m not really ready to stop shooting it just yet.

Dan Celvi just passed this note to me re. Polaroid’s future. Apparently it’s old news to everyone except me. Still, more than glad to see this:
“I dunno if you saw this article or not, but in case you didn’t, I figured I’d send you the link. Basically, some guy somehow managed to spur a few million from random investors to help them keep the Polaroid line alive for no other reason to keep it going.
