100

If you've been shooting Polaroid film for very long then you know that every once in a while you get a dud. Sometimes they're too dark & sometimes they're too light. Way too dark or light in some cases. If you put them all in a box and save them you may find a use for them one day. Today was my day.

100 Polaroids is my way to say Happy 100th Birthday to Edwin Land.

Tip:

Don't throw anything away.


I separated them into two stacks, counted them and sketched a grid on graph paper. I did a couple of practice mosaics before finally taping all 100 to a piece of Masonite board. As for the "scan" - as g. likes to remind me - "Digital cameras make excellent scanners."
