[HUG ] Re: polaroid backs

Dear Nephew James,

 

                 Read Mr. Kiss? note very carefully ? he appears to know
exactly what he is doing. I wish he lived closer to me ? he could come round
my studio and help me to figure out exactly what I am doing?.

 

                Keep the back. Get Fuji film packs (far better than Polaroid
in many ways) and use them to check lighting patterns, shadow mistakes,
poses, etc. Looking through the viewfinder is essential, and looking at the
actual subject even more so, but sometimes I find I need to see the image
down on a flat surface to see if what I wanted is there. I think it is the
difference between stereo vision and 2-dimensional representation.

 

                I keep the instant films in a big fish bowl and the client?s
love to fossick in there to see what other people look like, I am going to
trim the best ones and laminate them under a glass table top as a décor
feature, next to the hanging fishnet and the lava lamp. Martha Stewart, eat
your heart out?.
