HI…
I take a lot of Polaroid portraits and am wrapping up nearly twenty years of fun with the Polaroid Spectra. My work is well known in Baltimore and in a smattering of homes around the world.
When Spectra film ceased production, I stocked up on about 900 exposures. The bulk of my film stash will be documented in this blog the Last Days of Polaroid.
Contact me if you would like to work with me in any capacity. Let’s make some magic.
