It was never lost on me that for years and years I felt like the laziest photographer in the world. I carried my Polaroid Spectra around with me for a long, long time. I never worried about f-stops, exposure, shutter speeds, filters or any of the other stuff that goes hand in hand with traditional photography. Blecccch. Gimme my instant photography and lemme point and shoot!
I may have been uninspired to use a professional camera, but I mastered my Spectra and developed a distinctive style that I still love to look at.
Photo: DAVID. Mexicali, Mexico. 1989.
This was an early photo that was taken at a wedding in Mexico that a friend invited me to. I met this kid named David who also had a Polaroid camera and I had to get a picture of him with it. Do you ever wonder about photos people took of you that you've never seen? Maybe David's on Steemit and he'll see this. Hi David!
