for the love of light
Jul 23rd, 2008 by Ruth
I was just searching thru flickr when I spotted a polaroid shot. And from there, I went on to search for polaroids. I guess you should have heard the (sad) news that polaroid films are going to be phased out. And whilst there is a campaign on the web to save polaroid, photographers worldwide are having a field day with
the wonderful medium. I love the instantaneous way the film develops, literally before your very eyes… it really would be sad to see it go away, forever.
Here are some of my favourite polaroid images from Flickr. Some are just scanned images of the polaroid shots, others are creative uses of the polaroids. Have fun browsing. All images belong to their respective owners.
Now don’t you think we should save polaroid?
For more really great images that have been curated into a book, check out For The Love of Light. Now available for sale at USD 49.95, inclusive of shipping.
A wonderful tribute to faded childhood memories stored away in shoe boxes all over the world (or at least in my own small world).
