First, and perhaps most important, this last set of Polaroids does start with clowns and end with a cowboy pissing off a cliff. This is really the self-selecting process of the stack method of editing. Things pile up, the oddities collect and sort themselves to the side, and eventually the get spit out in a short series of outtakes. A lot of this stuff comes from Wyoming, with a little bit from the Kansas-Colorado border. Clowns, cowboys, hotdogs, and guns.

Gorgeous light in that empty landscape! This is a great set. I need to visit Coney, haven’t been there since they moved it from Conifer. Best shakes ever. The cowboy ladscapes are beautiful. Clowns are scary and that image doesn’t help that reputation, lol.
Thanks.

Beautiful work, as always. If you don’t mind me asking, what kind of polaroid do you use and where do you find film for it?

Hi August,
These frames are all from a Polaroid Land Camera. I shoot a 250, 350, and 450 –but the function between all those cameras is essentially the same. Two apertures and a ‘magic eye’ that chooses your shutter speed. The film is fuji –they still produce some pack film.
