So these are 2 excerpts from photostrips that I dug up the other day. Well the one on the right is new, so I only dug up the other one. Anyways they got me thinking about all kinds of things like change, time, age and photobooths in general which then got me thinking about photographs. Recently I decided to bust out my SX-70 Land Polaroid camera on Memorial Day. There was only about 5 exposures left in the camera so I wanted to use them up. The sad thing is that I only have 2 packs (10 exposures each) and am embarking on a cross country trip. While I have both a decent digital camera and an iPhone, I feel like neither is truly worthy of documenting something of such magnitude. When it comes to film, I feel simultaneously sad and frustrated. Technology is propelling us forward at what seems to be an exponentially faster rate per 10 years. I love digital "things" and general progress but it feels as thought we are completely disregarding our past in our push for a streamlined, wireless and sometimes, thoughtless world.
