Ink Polaroids are surely a way of showing imaginary pictures to people. So, this means that without any skill at all, you can take great pictures of anything in the world. Or even not in this world..."This is one of me standing on Mars with two Martian friends...." So why is everyone sharing pictures that are crap! They're either blurred, too wet, feet only, wrong type of film - don't think I've seen a thumb over the lens yet but I'm sure it's coming! When I take pictures in real life, if any of the above happen, I tend to not put them on display in my photo album but hide them away somewhere. So come on people, if we're going to have to read about your private moments when we've never met you, lets at least have some nicely composed, in focus piccies to look at.

So why is everyone sharing pictures that are crap! They're....feet only,
this one was me, and erm, i don't get what you're saying at all i'm afraid. It's like when one of my GCSE kids last year had these pictures of the multi-storey in town, and there was this one with a third whited out and the tell-tale yellow/orange line down it. It was a fantastic picture because of the accident. This kid didn't get why i was so enthusiastic about it, but a couple of the others did. I guess this is something you either get or you don't... Some of the best things artists do, creatively speaking, stem from accidents.
When I take pictures in real life, if any of the above happen, I tend to not put them on display in my photo album but hide them away somewhere.
i tend to recycle them in collages and then put those on display.
So come on people, if we're going to have to read about your private moments when we've never met you, lets at least have some nicely composed, in focus piccies to look at.

Have you ever seen a real polaroid? Always bloody blurred! Nick Rhodes of Duran Duran once published an entire book of blurred polaroids. What's good enough for Nick....
