Mom Polaroid
Here’s another Polaroid I took, this time of my mom at her condo in Aptos.
As I’m working on these Polaroid scans, I realize, to get these shots I’m carrying around this fairly cumbersome camera (Mamiya RZ67-II) and ending up with a scanned photo not much better resolution than that of a camera phone… in fact, I think my iPhone takes sharper pictures when comparing the scans. But still, there’s something about the look of the Polaroid that I like. I’ve always thought sharpness was overrated anyway. One thing I don’t like about digital is that most images come out clinically sharp. I like a little softness in images.

Love your work, but your Polaroid link is bad. Hopefully this works. Click.

There is something so vintage and warm about a Polaroid picture. I love the colors and textures it brings. I like sharp images too, but Polaroid just feels more like home
