An artist presents the last of his Polaroid film from his depleting Polaroid film stash.
My buddy, the mad genius Andy Gore, holds a fresh, custom screenprinted t-shirt which I am now the proud owner of. The image of Vincent Price is from the film Masque of the Red Death and has been a favorite of mine for years. His secret hide-a-way is a feast for the eyes.

My friend Liz got me out of the house again this week…a very welcome break from my winter hibernation. I’ll keep this entry short, but we did make a bunch of stops and each stop will be its own entry, starting with the Senator theater benefit

I don’t typically shoot much Polaroid film during the winter months, so updates here have been spotty, but I am still shooting and have plenty of Spectra film to last through 2009. I HAD to go to Michael Alago’s opening at S.C. Lord Design Studio on Saturday. You can read my story about him and [...]
A writer for the Philly Weekly interviewed me last week for an article he’s working on and he came bearing gifts. He handed over a chunky Polaroid camera which works on Type 600 Film and two packs of expired 600 film. The expiration date on the film was 11/03 and the results were bright yellow/orange.

I took a nice bunch of Polaroids at the opening of the 600 show at Gallery 2219 on St. Paul St. last night. The show consisted only of Type 600/Time Zero Polaroid photographs, which pretty much eliminated me as a contributor since I have only ever taken about 20 or 30 photos with that [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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.

I love these people and as much as I wish I ran my own Andy Warhol-styled Factory, these guys and Dan Deacon are already doing it…and there’s not much room for improvement. And unlike Andy’s Factory, everyone at Wham City is making art of some sort or another.

No more hysteria. No more signing “Save Polaroid” petitions. No more whining!Ladies and Gentlemen, we need to face the facts, the inevitable. This is the end of times for our beloved Polaroid film. What I will be doing with this blog is simple. I will be sharing the last Polaroids that I will ever [...]
