In the Floggers Talk Polaroid series, cryingboy, aka Dan Estabrook (he and palmea interviewed each other a while back), lets us in on why he’s a photographer with a fetish for only one type of film.
I haven’t really shot film in years… it’s all been paper negatives for Art and digital snapshots for Fun. But my one concession is Polaroid type 55 or 665, the one with the positive & negative combined. I used to just shoot them for tests, but now I find I shoot them when I’m making other things and also just for themselves. It’s becoming a secret stash now, a whole other body of work saved over the years. You know, for my big “Cryingboy: the Polaroids” show when I’m 65! —Dan
I shot this 13 years ago. Looks like 113 now…
I’ve had this oxidizing on my studio wall for four years. Not sure if you can tell from the scan, but it’s almost completely gold and reflective now…
Polaroids are magic.
