Polaroid

Polaroids have always had their charm, whether it be a classic sx-70 with the iconic borders, or the colour pack film with its over saturated pictures. But another great kind is the black and white shots. This one is from the 60s or 70s at some unnamed play park. That jungle gym is probably still their. Happy kids, smiling faces.

Meaning

Last week we talked about Photos with no meaning. This one is different. On the surface, It looks like it could be Just an accidental photo, but with the instantness of polaroid, it probably wouldn't have survived. Looking at the composition, This could be an artistic photograph. Look at the composition, the leading lines, the repetition. This was clearly planned. Except it wasn't. On the back, it says:
                                      2 1/2 in. at one end       1 1/2in at the other end.                                                          It wasn't a keen eyed photographer at all, just a construction worker who needed to take measurements. Of course, there are still mysteries, such as where and what this is and what those figures mean. But those are questions for another time.
