THE THIRD EUROPEAN MONTH OF PHOTOGRAPHY - Polaroid group exhibition in Berlin!

»listen up

Dear Polanoiders,
I will sell some of my Polaroids of the "Berlin Beauties"-series (»link) at the Berlin Designmarket "3&33" on the 8th and 9th of December.
For more information please have a look: »link

"This means that the families of the subjects and/or the subjects themselves have given permission for these photographs to be used: benefitting emergency room triage and treatments."

...did not know that's what they were uploaded for on polanoid***

to add something more //
regarding the aiaoe's 'censored' images.

in my opinion some of the contributions to the discussion missed the real point in this matter. it is not a question of how the viewers deal with the images! just ask yourself if you wanted pictures be published without prior agreement on a public internet site of yourself, your partner, children, parents,... killed in an accident or however. yes, to me this is first and foremost a question of decency than of anything else. the publishing of these pictures hurt the personal rights of the dead people to an extremely high degree and therefore they had to be 'made private' (thank you WM). that's the point and NOT if and in what way death can be pictured in art or if anybody else seeing the pictures feels uneasy or not***

hi jenelle,
point 1: nightshots with available, artificial lights, i think are a problem with polaroid films (600, 778, 779, Time Zero, SX-70 Blend, whatever...) anyway and i think the last "side-by-side-comparison"-shots you uploaded are not very helpful out of this reason among other things.
point 2: if you want to have a fair "competition" of the two films it would be better to shot in good daylight conditions with the filter on both cartridges, both pictures with the same camera adjustments, the same framing, etc - you only get real A to B comparison shots with the only one (!) change in the setting (that would be just the film).
take care***
