Patina of Time

Polaroids take up an interesting place in my head. My initial reaction is distaste for what they have become, and begat (hipstamatic is for idiots). I think the reason why they are so compelling is that they have an intrinsic immediacy, while they also carry a connotation of obsolescence and temporal distance that has an almost mystical quality.

Anyway - here are some good ones from the WestLicht collection.
