The end of Polaroid?


With the recent news that Polaroid is shutting down its factories that produce their film, I thought I would share a few candids shot in Oregon on this low-fi medium these past few months.

All are of good friends and musicians just goofing around: Lucas Reynolds (
Pictures and Sound), artist Emilie Lee, John Butler, Brett Dennen, bassist Danny McKay and drummer Randy Schwartz.

Thanks for sharing these lovely polaroids, Ben. I have fond memories of a trip Venice Beach that was commemorated with Polaroids. What will we do without these little gems?

Nice to see the new site and blog! I come back to your site every now and then for the inspiring "get out of the house" photography!

maybe they'll bring polaroid back, who knows. Brett Dennen was just here in Minneapolis, but i missed him, love his music. And he's a redhead like mE!
