A Portrait, Steve.

other artists, polaroids, portrait work | August 30th, 2007

Photographer, Steve Steckly and girlfriend, Michael-Anne.

I enjoy this picture b/c it is a Polaroid, thus making it one of kind, and also b/c it is attributed to neither Steve nor myself. I believe it could only ever be attributed to our collective love of making photographs…indeed, it makes me think of the practice of working for works sake, even if often an abstraction, is wonderful and something to remind one self of from time to time.

  3. Jason, it was an 8×10 Deardorf with a soft focus portrait lens, like a 300mm f/4.5. The Polaroid film was cross processed 8×10 sheets.
