Another Fotologger who’s been shooting Polaroids for ages is dirtdirt. In fact, Mr. Dirt, aka Chris Stangland, has taken one Polaroid a day for the past five years. Some of his Polaroid handiwork is on Fotolog, but all of it is at Formerly 669: A Polaroid a Day, Every Day.
From Chris’s faq:
Q: So, you take a bunch of pictures each day and post the best one, right?
A: Wrong wrong wrong. What you see is what I took, exactly. A handful of times I have had catastrophic camera malfunctions resulting in all black or all white prints and had to re-shoot. There are PLENTY of pictures in here that I think really suck, and would love to’ve re-shot, but that is not how it works. Also, for what it is worth there is absolutely NO post-production or photoshopping on these.
Well, he’s wrong too, about one thing: it’s not plenty—maybe a handful. In five years. Now that’s consistency. And obsession I guess. Obsession is good.
Chris uses several different kinds of cameras, including this awesome looking and sounding behemoth:
the Polaroid Graph-Check, a sequential 4×5 camera. Chris again:
It is built like a tank (seriously. the damn thing is made out of milled steel), and was marketed as an aid to golfers and baseball players. You know, to check their swings. If you should happen to stumble across one I’d highly recommend picking it up. The film is expensive, and fussy, and sloppy and the camera itself is not all that easy to use, but they are still really really neat.
So here’s a dirtdirt everyday compendium, with a few graphchecks thrown in—that’s Chris demonstrating his impeccable pitching form, and his wife Erin, aka azucena, modeling her impeccable hula-hooping form. Congratulations are in order, as today they become parents for the first time!

Amazing dedication. I love polaroids myself and I have a 636 Close-up and a 210 land camera.
Very expensive project. Did you get sponsorship or buy in bulk as polaroid film doesn’t come cheap.
Are you still doing this?
Congrats,
