Yet again I miss being in MA. I'd love to get back up there to see this.

I've read a little book all about Polaroid, which I found very interesting. The catalogue for this exhibition is a little highly priced at the moment, for me though.

It's very unlikely that I'll get to this exhibition where it is, but hopefully it will get to the UK, fingers crossed.

I visited the museum yesterday. A very good exhibit; about 1/2 devoted to the cameras and 1/2 to photographs using Polaroid film. Most of the photos were just OK (IMO). Not enough of the 20x24 Elsa Dorfman ones. One thing I did not realize was the extent of the collaboration between Edwin Land and Ansel Adams. I knew Adams used Polaroid film, but not that he was so involved in it's refinement.

Excuse the quick digisnaps.
