Polaroid Project
Feb. 19th, 2008 11:43 pmMy boyfriend is doing a project involving as many people as possible and their polaroids:
I recently heard that polaroid is going to stop production of all polaroid film shortly. I saw alot of people start protests and petitions but i've decided to go a different route. I am starting a website and I am asking anyone and everyone with a polaroid camera to go buy a box of film. Take those 10 pictures as if they were the last 10 polaroid photos left on the planet and do your very best to visually explain your entire life in those 10 images. feel free to write on the small space at the bottom of them. I ask you to then send them to me in any way you can, either scan them and email them to me or take pictures of them and send them to me or even ship them to me and I will scan them and ship them back at my own cost. Add a little synopsis of each picture and what it means to you, even a little blurb about yourself so that I can add a profile to each and every person. I don't know if it will change polaroids mind but hopefully it will give us all a chance to look deeper into our lives and our love of polaroid. The email address you should send the images to is Polaroid10@live.com
If you want to ship me your pictures email me and I will respond with my address. If you do so I guarantee you will get your pictures back in the same exact condition that I recieved them in. Thank you so much, I can't wait to hear from all of you.
Edit: I know someone else will probably get the rights to make the film. But this isn't so much as an attempt to change Polaroid's mind, as much as to see how many different people can describe their lives in ten photos.
