Matt Schwartz creates incredible prints of polaroid transfers photographed by himself. He creates them by pulling apart the film of a polaroid and rubbing the negative onto watercolor paper. I’ve toyed around with transferring my images but so far none of them have turned out this good an as someone who is really getting into the world of polaroid I found his work to be so inspiring. The images are beyond gorgeous, I would say magical. All images are available framed and unframed.

Yesterday was such a beautiful day. Me and the Mr. decided to head over to the amusement park for a quick bite to eat and a stroll. I had just enough time to snap a few choice polaroid shots before the sunny skies turned dark and the rain started pouring.

Today I am going to write about something that is near and dear to me. Polaroid. I will always have a love for polaroids. The way that you can capture a modern moment and have the feeling of a totally different era, watching your photo develop and the not knowing what your photo will turn out to be.

On February 8, 2008, Polaroid Corporation announced that it will discontinue production of all instant film. This saddens me as I (and my fiance) are the proud owners of three polaroid cameras. The 600, Colorpack IV and an Automatic 320.

Please visit Save Polaroid and learn what you can do to preserve the remarkable invention of Edwin Land, the instant film that made Polaroid a household name.

I will now be doing at least a weekly post featuring my favorite shots from my past and present. I hope you will enjoy them and feel free to share your favorite polaroid memories.
