Michael In A Black Leather Jacket

Faux fur and boys in leather jackets. They just go.

I want to try taking some more shots like the one below. I like that anti-gravity look.

Super Vixen Spotted on Baltimore Rooftop

Paige Pumphrey is a sexy super woman. I met up with her for a few Polaroids and she showed up with an eye-opening vinyl (rubber?), superhero get-up. It seemed only appropriate that we shoot on the roof because that’s where superheroes like to hang out. Her whole look was so strong and bigger than [...]

Who Gives A Shit About Pretty Sidewalks

Jason Dove. The man. The myth.
In efforts to spruce up the neighborhood, the City chopped down all the trees outside the Club Charles and all up and down the block. I told Jason that seeing the street that way was like seeing a woman for the first time without eye make-up. Apparently, we’re [...]

Wilma Martinez Goes Beyond The Valley of The Dolls

I am really itchin’ to take a few new Polaroids, I should have a few fresh ones in the coming week, but in the meantime, here are a few shots of Wilma that I took a couple of weeks ago while she was visiting.

 

 

 A fun new Polaroid website went up last week called Polaroid Apocalypse. [...]

80s Prom Polaroid Party

Last week I was asked to set up a Polaroid booth at this year’s 80s Prom at the Ottobar. I did it a couple of years ago and it was a blast. That year I took a crapload of photos and almost fell off my stool onto a pile of people when “Living On A [...]

Springtime and Wigs Just Go Together

Well, wigs go with any season, but it was such a beautiful day today and Jarvis expressed to me that he wanted to get a Polaroid wearing his blonde Kitty Wig, so what could I do, but accommodate his wish. I actually hesitated for a moment because I do already have a few Polaroids of [...]

Mysterious Gathering of Wrestling Clowns & Mime

These whiskey-guzzling wrestling clowns are all named after sausages and they were doing a radio show at Goucher College in Towson last night. Gavin Heck aka Blood Pudding, which apparently is some sort of sausage, asked me if I wanted to swing by Load of Fun to take a few photos. How could I [...]

Rob Sparrow Jones

I keep thinking that after I run out of all of my Polaroid film that I’ll start painting again. I was really “into it” during the very early 90s. When I moved from SF to NYC, I gave my paints and easel away. Since then I’ve dabbled a little, but never to the [...]

Hysteria Over Last Packs Of Polaroid Film

I do blame/credit the hysteria over the very quickly disappearing boxes of Polaroid film on some of the photos that have been coming out of my Spectra. It’s part psychological trauma transferred to film and other people feeding on my mania.
I got an email from a friend the other day and she said how nice [...]

Cartoons and Leatherface Create New Fashion Aesthetic

Maybe I should talk about where these characters come from. It would be hard to trace all of the influences or analyze this completely, but the rotten little seeds were planted in my youth by watching horror movie after horror movie.

NYLONA INGALLS-WILDER
The masked killer was always scarier and much more of a threat than [...]
