SAVE POLAROID!



The Impossible project aims to re-start production of analog INTEGRAL FILM for vintage Polaroid cameras in 2010.
I'm a big lover of Polaroid and would hate to see it really go out for good. For those photographer friends of mine squirrelling away their last reserves here's some hope. Go on and support http://www.the-impossible-project.com/


Speaking of Polaroid here are a few other projects that I found and am a real fan of first Scott Hammond's the lovely road

Such wonderful mix of portait and roadside stuff turned beautiful.


Second, the day 19 project by husband wife shooting team Jeremy & Claire Weiss. I wish I knew a little more about the concept for the project yet, my lacking in that area doesn't take away from my attraction to this series. I wish more mags were hiring portrait artists do do this kind of stuff.

Nightmare or Work Of Art?




Maybe I'm missing something when it comes to advertising photography. Admittedly, my forte is edit not ad. However, when I came across the new ad campaign for Vivienne Westwood starring Pamela Anderson and photographed by Juergen Teller I was beside myself. Granted Pam is in the past few years a harder subject to capture but, a huge campaign that will be published as a coffee-table book??? I just can't stomach this photo.. it's so painful to look at..
