These pictures are taken with a camera that is, by most definitions, broken: an old Polaroid SX-70 I rescued from a yard sale. With its first use I realized the camera wasn’t functioning properly. It sometimes spills out 2 pictures at a time and the film often gets stuck in the gears, exposing and mangling them in unpredictable ways. Before long I was participating and collaborating with it. I've figured out how to accentuate aspects of the camera's flaws but the images themselves are always a surprise. Each one is determined by the idiosyncrasies of the film and the camera.
