I created a flickr page of quick scans of my notebooks over the years. At each shoot I would grab a polaroid, paste it into my notebook and write some details. I miss those moments. I also kept the best polaroids intact. One day, I'll scan those and post them. But for now, you can have a look at The Notebook Project.

I Miss Polaroids: The Notebook Project
Margaret Kilgallen, a wonderful illustrator who exited earth way too soon, said this: "From a distance it might look straight, but when you get close up, you can always see the line waver. And I think that's where the beauty is." This is what I love about polaroids. Their imperfection. The beautiful dreamy accidents that happen before all the kinks are worked out. I miss polaroids.

ReplyDeleteI read the quote by Margaret Kilgallen that you posted on FB and it led to your blog - it is a great and wonderful treat to see what you're up to. I'm so glad to see you're doing well.
All the best,
