Few things of recent memory have inspired me as much as this classic Polaroid SX-70 advertisement. It is beautifully produced and views like a mini documentary. The photographs shown throughout are quite nice. Best of all, and contrary to current advertising trends, it assumes it’s audience is intelligent and creative. All in all a sweet blend of history, technology, creativity and wonder.

I’ve grown strangely tired of looking at photography lately. The internet is great: How could I ever see so much beautiful photographic work – and who would even see mine if it were not for the internet? The internet isn’t so great: There’s so much to see that you grow weary and after a while everyone’s photography starts to look like the next photographer’s work. Maybe mine does too?

I’ve recently been introduced to the music of Blossom Dearie. Being somewhat of a jazz fan, I don’t know how I missed her before. The seeming ease in which she performs is amazing.
If I could make photographs that “sound” this sweet… now that would be lovely.
