Another addition to my roster of kit is a polaroid I-2 a fucking beauty to be honest and something i've been after for a while. For 2 main reasons; the first being the film is fucking expensive and you don't get a lot of it. This in turn makes me more selective in what I photograph and why, it makes me isolate moments in time so primarily I will use this on a lot of people be that friends, family or encounters I didnt expect.
The second reason the instant physicality of the product after just a short while I have the image myself I can write on it and date it, no need to scan or develop and I can show it however I want be that a photo album on my wall or in a box this again feeds into the narrative of 'capturing moments lost in time'
To explain this term more and into why photography is such a passion of mine. It's the ability to be able to isolate key or singular moments in time and in a sense immortalise them. Meaning that photo you take of that mate at that year or that time can be remembered, dated, stored, archived and becomes a waypoint or a sort of marker in your mind. Images can be a great form of mental arithmetic and something that I find a lot of happiness and solace in.
