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.
Eine "Lost Place" - Das "Monte Palace Hotel"***** bei Caldera Sete Cidades! Nur eine Saison hatte es geöffnet, dann wurde es wieder geschlossen. Es könnte eine Traumhafte Aussicht sein. Leider ist im Schnitt nur 60 Tage im Jahr das andere Ufer des Sees zu sehen. Sonst haben Nebel und Wolken das Tal fest im Griff!

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.

The supreme architectural weirdness that is Princeton's Alexander Hall. This is the building shown from the rear-- the rest is a semi-circular shaped ring.
To make things more confusing, Alexander Hall actually houses Richardson Auditorium, and the names are used interchangeably.
The inscription reads "Harriet Crocker Alexander gave and dedicated this building to Princeton University in the glory of God and in the growth of knowledge the thirteenth of June 1894. There is no greater joy than to hold high aloft the serene abodes well bulwarked by the learning of the wise.”
As for the sculptures, "Learning" sits on the throne in the middle, surrounded by Oratory, Theology, Law, History, Philosophy, and Ethics on his left, and Architecture, Sculpture, Painting, Poetry, Music, and "Belles-Lettres" on his right.
