Photoblogging, Old-School Style

Worth a Peek

By Greg Cohn, 3-17-05

My friend Mike Slack has been taking these Polaroids of abstract subjects and the minute details of life that we pass by every day without noticing. Kinda' like a good blogger really -- only nothing digital here. This is old-school, unfold the plastic camera, wave the print around while the chemicals dry, no-enhancement polaroid photography -- and each image is, of course, unique.

His work is on display in Durango through the end of March and is, in my opinion, well worth seeing. See review here.

Nifty! And I like the non-digital aspect ...

Down here in Taos, I have a photoblog of sorts: FotoFeed, which features a different New Mexico image six days a week. It's been an ongoing project for several years, and you can go back a long ways by clicking the "Previous Day" links.
