Yes, maybe you are right... but, why to use photoshop it in a digital? Do you think the first shot is the final? in polaroid you can have very nice results, but sometimes everything goes wrong.You can improve the ligt or the colors... Have you tried to use watercolors in polaroids? Iīve never tried, but Iīve seem some examples very interesting... I should do it.
Why to use it just in digital? Digital sensors work as a film... If you work with polaroids in digital support like internet, You skan polaroids... Maybe It makes some sense :) You are not working with the original.

Hello. I absolutely agree with you, you're argument is very well put. However, and i think this gets to the root of my feelings here, I kind of think of polaroid photographs as objects of art in themselves - i mean the whole physical photograph, rather like a painting. So i see the digitial representation of it here as no more than "a photograph of an objevc" and not as the art form itself. Its like if i painted picture and wanted to show it to you - i would take a photograph of it and upload it, but i wouldn't think of manipulating it in photoshop to make it better. With digital photography, however, i don't get that same sense of "object" as i do with a polaroid, so any amount of manipulation is good. As for the manipulated polaroids (where the emulsion has been pushed around while it's developing) I feel the same way about the end product being a physical object of art. Hope i explained myself properly there and didn't sound too pretentious...

I like the pic a lot, but i mean is very dark and you still can see the other elements, thatīs a little bit confusing to me, well itīs my opinion. I think its a great shot, really.

Thanks - i totally agree with your comments. Thanks for commenting. I'm a little reticent to use photoshop on a polaroid picture, but if this was a digital shot, i'd certainly either lighten it up so you can see everything clearly, or darken it so only the kettle sticks out, What do yo think about photoshopping polaroids? I love your photos, by the way
