Andrew Faris moved to New York City seven years.  One of the items he brought with him was his parent’s Polaroid camera.

New York looks great in that small white box with a fat bottom.  His photos can be seen at http://www.nycpp.com/

Polaroid

Saturday, January 9th in Santa Monica the Instant Gratification event will take place. A few of my Polaroid shots will be in the show.

The shots are part of a series I took in the summer of 2006 when I worked at Camp Chi. On Night Duty, I grab my trombone and the Polaroid camera and the fun started. Courtney, my partner while on night duty and I drove around the camp looking for people who were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Upon finding someone we would hand them the trombone and snap their picture. We then drove off without explaining a thing. Night duty can sure be boring but not on this particular night, it was a blast. My favorite photograph is the one of the security guard…she had a “classic” response.

If you are in the LA area, come and share in the dying art of Polaroid pictures.

Saturday, January 9th, 7:00 p.m. – 11:00 p.m.
