Mikael Kennedy’s Life in (Polaroid) Pictures
Photographer Mikael Kennedy spent ten years documenting his life through Polaroid film, taking the instant camera with him on his travels across the country.
“I’d say it probably has a lot to do with light. The way light hits something will catch my eye, or sometimes I will try to transfer an idea of a moment I am having into an image. There is also this idea of collecting and cataloguing with a Polaroid; there is something oddly scientific to me about it. Recently, with the end of Polaroid’s film production, I started this project where I travelled all around the US finding kids I photographed before and shooting one portrait of them with this specific type of film (Time Zero) that I knew I would never be able to find again. It was the last time that any of these people — some whom I had been photographing for almost 10 years now — would be photographed in that manner. I also have a list of things that I would like to get a polaroid of, like a tornado, a whale, things like that… like I am collecting specimens of life.”

A film by Charles and Ray Eames for Polaroid. Beautiful in a million different ways. I could watch this over and over again.

An ode to the SX-70. Mine’s been unloved for far too long.
