I Heart… My Polaroid Blog
Polaroid photos are one of those things that has been done over and over and over and over again, beaten over the head until the cows come home, and taken by everyone, their mom, and their neighbour’s parakeet. Yes. Really. That much. Anyone can ‘take’ a Polaroid image – and I say ‘take’ with quotations because with technology like Photoshop, you see a lot of people emulating the retro Polaroid quality on regular digital photos – but not just anyone can really capture an image with the character and nostalgia deserved.
Jen Gotch of My Polaroid Blog has just the magical touch that infuses her photographs with the beauty, light-heartedness, and spontaneity associated with the Polaroid. Her images have a quirky and vibrant sense of colour, a skillful approach to composition, and an overall breath-taking and other-worldly quality to them. I love how she so artistically captures all the fleeting moments that are so often unseen and quickly passed by.
