Thought it might be fun to share these SX-70 Polaroids. I shot them over a period of a year or so, always in the early morning. This is Kathy putting on her makeup, as she sits by our kitchen window. Her reflection shows in the window, and also in her handheld mirror. The colors are pure polaroid (and rgb) hues, and they vary so wildly due to the light of the season, the weather, and in some cases outdated film. Nothing was done in PS to alter or enhance the color.

This series was completed a few years ago, and since then they tore down the old theater and put up a 22 story condo about 10 inches from our window. So now all our light is gone. These things happen. The most technically challenging part of this project, by far, was the fact that these were all shot while I was still on my first cup of coffee. :snore

Her bathrobe is dark red, same as the brick wall outside the window.

I don't want the cheese, I just want to get out of the trap.
