I like that there is no file to go back to.

The photograph comes out and that is more or less the end of the discussion. Maybe the exposure is slightly wrong. Maybe something disappears into the black. Maybe the camera gives you something you hadn’t planned at all. You keep it or you don’t.

Polaroids is an ongoing series of black and white instant photographs made with the MINT SLR670 MAX and the Polaroid I-2.

There isn’t one subject. I photograph things I find worth stopping for: people, streets, rooms, bodies, small objects, odd details, whatever happens to hold my attention for a moment.

Working this way changes the pace. I take fewer photographs. I wait a little more. And once the picture appears, I have to deal with what is actually there rather than what I might turn it into later.

Some are clean. Some aren’t. A few accidents are better left alone.

And every photograph is already the photograph. One small physical thing, sitting there, with nowhere else to go.
