The Polaroid Kidd

.
Still in the same eerie territory north of the Arch. This is a stairway to the back door of an abandoned industrial building. I'll never know, but I'd like to think these three words were written by a fierce photographer who won't let go of her or his chosen medium. The Polaroid Corporation no longer makes instant cameras. Fujifilm is the only company that still does.

WHAT'S THE OVERLOAD FACTOR: today is the annual full-day seminar sponsored by the St. Louis Camera Club, this year featuring Jim Richardson. Tomorrow, I've been asked to come by the Soulard Art Market gallery during teardown of their current show to photograph the artists and their work. There's a lot of day-job work to do. And I haven't done any local shooting in a few weeks. Better not sleep in.

TOMORROW: Industrial Revolution.

This looks like a mixed media painting more than a photo. Fantastic!

Creepy the place may be, but the shots are excellent.

The Polaroid Kidd is actually Mike Brodie, a photographer. Google him, his work is intriguing. I wonder if he originally wrote this....
