Strange that years ago, if I had pulled a Polaroid that had yielded the crazy color and stains that these images have, I would have thrown it away and made another one in order to be able to evaluate the scene I was about to commit to film. In these days digital photographers try by the thousands to recreate images that look like these Polaroids using Photoshop and Painter. I have also seen other treatments that are intended to look like light leaks, film fogging and images made from cheap plastic lenses. There’s nothing wrong with that of course, there is some wonderful and original artwork being made that way. I don’t believe the process used to create an image has any bearing on its worth.
