Kita - Taken in the middle of the summer (not snow, not piss). Maybe for my next shot though.

looks like the paper itself would be perforated, I like this Polaroid aesthetic that doesnt want to transport ideas with pictures but transports things you see, so that the camera is (in this case a simple) second eye ...

It's pleasant, but lacks the monumental quality that makes those architectural Polaroids so attractive -- contrast of the heavy architecture with the evanescent instant photo.

kita's always very thought provoking
:)
I won't agree with andreas: pola-pics are the worst and most evil cheaters of all pics, nothing of 'imparcial docu-eyes'
and this picture is highly stilized both in its presentation as in the election of subject, etc., much more than any heavily reworked ps-overlay. just that the process takes place before taking the pic, not afterwards
imho

Oh, I wouldn't compare a polaroid to the combining of two negatives in terms of photographic manipulation. I just point the camera and shoot: often no adjustment of exposure, depth of field, even focus. There is no vignetting or softness of focus in the corners as in the Holga and I don't dodge and burn like "straight" photographers. I try not to even adjust the contrast and lightness/darkness (although some of that is inevitable in the scanning process). So I think of it as a fairly pure form of photography. I also don't think subject matter has anything to do with process. And that the subject matter here seems pretty straightforward.
