Digital w/ Polaroids
What started as a random idea of using instant Polaroid photographs to hide or reveal bodies became a way of showing my environment for the past three years. I've experimented with replication, reversing the locations of the digital and the Polaroid, and using the Polaroid to tell what happened in the recent past.
Anytime I visit a new place, I bring my Polaroid with me in case an opportunity arrives where I can add it to my collection. This process has been used in the United States, France, and Spain to present what I'm encountering in a way that garners a closer look at that which we may see only as static scenery we pass by.
Recently, an extra layer has unfolded to these images. Polaroid announced they are discontinuing all instant film and Fuji has no alternative in the 600 and Spectra format. So with each Polaroid I make, I am removing one more opportunity of ever using this film again due to the finite nature of it.
