Having fun with out of focus blur.
I love working with Toy cameras. A lot of my work has been done with a Holga with a Polaroid Back attached to it, using Type 85 Positive/Negative film. The Diana was the original Toy cam and I was lucky to buy one of Susan Burnstine’s. Each toy camera has it’s own soul – so to speak – meaning that the camera’s are not uniform and each individual camera has some little glitch on it that transforms your images differently. Normally I would never attempt to photograph with a toy camera in the shade, just because it’s basically an F16 camera that requires a lot of sunshine. But this particular Diana does fairly well in the shade if it has at least a little F16 sunshine somewhere in the frame. For some reason that helps it. I have no idea why. It’s just a toy!
I made this book on the eve of Polaroid’s collapse. As I work with Polaroid films for the majority of my work, I was really quite devastated when I learned they were discontinuing all product lines. I worked mainly with Polaroid Type 85 & 55. I have enough to see me through a few projects. Until then I’ll hope for the success of THE IMPOSSIBLE PROJECT.

Playboy cover model, represented in NYC and Milan. She was in town for a job and stopped by for a shoot and these are a few of the images that were made. It was a rainy day so I wanted to take advantage of the rain on my studio windows.Â
Marketa is from the Eastern Block, Czech Republic… so these are a set of images called the Eastern Curtain.Â
All images were made with Kodak Tri-X 400 Medium format Black and White film and a Rolleicord.Â

Waiting for use
So gradual their expansion
Until the fall
Then once spread fullyÂ
The wrinkles are pressed against the sky
This is learning to fly…
