More Polaroids/Abstracts







There is something to be said about making art for arts sake. I have had fun making these images. I am using a Polaroid 340 packfilm camera and a copy stand that was made for Polaroid packfilm cameras. These are also kind of an exercise in composition.... maybe like doing a crossword puzzle keeps your mind sharp and teaches you new words and how to use them. This exercise keeps the photographers eye sharp and creates new ways of seeing/visualizing/creating composition.
