Polaroids are real, tangible, immediate. To a small child watching them develop, they are magic.
Polaroids are unmistakable and instantaneously recognizable. "Ah, that's a Polaroid..."
The Greeks has encaustics (pigmented wax), and many artists today still work in encaustic The Romans had fresco, a difficult and unwieldy medium that is still available should someone want to use it. Silverpoint, lithography, drypoint; all still options for visual artists. Sculpture, weaving, furniture, and so on... every craft and art can still be executed in the media that has been available to its artisans for centuries.
Then there is photography. Newton & Windsor goes out of business, painters can always purchase another brand of oil or acrylic. Sculptors will never run out of things to carve, weld together, or otherwise manipulate. Photographers are not so lucky.
The fate of all photographic media - the very tools on which a photographer's means of expression depend - is decided entirely by the corporations that manufacture said media. Once production of a media is halted, the form of artist expression that depends on that media, dies forever.
Finally, Polaroids existed before I was born and I cannot bear the thought that I might outlive this fantastic medium.
That is simply not fair.

Griff Hollows is an idyllic little place hidden away right next to a main road and suburban houses on the edge of Nuneaton. The natural wooded hollow with a brook running through it is full of native bluebells in springtime. The novelist George Eliot grew up near here and it appears in 'The Mill on the Floss' as 'Red Deeps' where the characters Maggie and Philip meet in secret. A canal used to run where this path is (now filled in).

You will notice all of the raffle tickets in this young man's hand. Griffin's brother donated the helmet we were all so used to watching Griff play in. His request was that the helmet would be raffled off only to people who were close to him. I know there were a lot of players there that knew and loved Griff, I'm not sure if there was a dry eye in the place at this point. But everyone gave Bandit their ticket to ensure he would win. Beautiful story, and spontaneous. Moments like that just make you want to have a group hug. Griff was surely smiling down on everyone at that point.

What felt like my first proper day after a horrendous hangover the day before started with a mission of a walk to the first spot. The famed spot from videos past was a pleasant surprise to all in the group and both Grif and Matt got straight to work. Although they migrated up to the more impressive kink later on I really liked this angle and shot of Grif Royaling the rail.
