 Rating:  - The Polaroid Book - A Must-Have Ode to a Fine Artistic MediumOn my desk at the moment is a cherished copy of "The Polaroid Book: Selections from the Polaroid Collections of Photography", published by Taschen. This book is a delightful ode to a fantastic art medium that is, unfortunately, fading out. The immediacy and intimacy of Polaroid photography simply cannot be replicated by digital photography. Sure, you can pick up a digital camera and point and shoot all you like, but you won't have a completed, printed image sliding gracefully out of ... Read More Rating:  - Polaroid Photography Was Mostly A Passing FadThis book of images from the "Polaroid Collection of Photography" confirms everything that was wrong with Polaroid Photography. The front and back covers of the book each contain eight Polaroid pictures. They are all so small they are difficult to see.

Read More Rating: - a MUST-HAVE for all polaroid enthusiastsI recently purchased this book and must say that this is a beautifully created masterpiece. Give it up to Taschen for yet another exquisite piece of documentation; this time showing the love and art of the polaroid instant medium.

How can the Petters Group (who now owns Polaroid) dare to banish such a beautiful art form from humanity? That's right, Polaroid has stopped making instant film and the supply may barely run through the end of this year, and all expire by the end of next year. THIS IS A CRIME AGAINST ART AND HUMANITY!! ... Read More Rating: - What a SEXY book!!!WOW... words can't even begin to describe how much I love this book! It's about time they released a book like this! And the wrapper of this book is genius! It looks like a gigantic box of Polaroid film... I didn't even want to remove the cover at first... I fondled it for awhile and then I slowly peeled it off and curled up on the couch for an hour or two and looked at all the pretty pictures. This book is highly recommended for any Polaroid enthusiast! And if you want to see some great 'roids on ... Read More |
