Poladroid Fun VI
I have recently been really inspired by a couple of fellow JPG-ers -- firstly, by Marco Martinez's story http://jpgmag.com/stories/12369 about the Polaroid camera he's giving away. I began going through the thousands of wonderful Polaroid shots here to choose my favourite as requested, in the hopes of getting the Polaroid shipped to me. I remembered having one as a kid and being completely fascinated by this pre-cursor to the instant age. Wouldn't it be fun to try that again, I thought. The more images I looked at, the more I wanted one. I realized that some of my work was taken with that kind of result in my mind. I can't quite get it right with post-processing.
Then I came across Tremaine Sterling's story http://jpgmag.com/stories/12592/ about the Poladroid program. That looks cool, I thought -- think I'll give it a try. Well that took up a few hours of my life and
I LOVE IT!
But I still want the Polaroid..........
hang on Mario, I think I'm about halfway through all the images and I'll have a favourite soon!

NOOOOOO I'll send you a polaroid if you stop contributing to the fauxlaroid epidemic. You name the type (peel or integral).

I will be happy to mediate any dispute between the polaroid/poladroid advocates/antagonists! (I do a little of this for a living.)

Leanna Lomanski said (12 Aug 2009):
It was not my intention to divide the camps! I can see where a talented purist like Cory might resent this cheap and easy substitute for the real thing......... Thank you Richard for your offer of mediation and the spotlight! I've a few more in the works so I may need you yet..........(A girl's gotta make do with what she's got until she gets the real thing! hmmm it's the same for cameras as men.......)
