I really liked the antique and vintage feel that polaroid transfers give to an image, so I knew I wanted to work with a nostalgic and also somewhat abstract subject -- because of the wrinkles and tears that can distort this type of transfer. I decided to use slides of childhood photos, and picked ones that would look interesting with some "wear and tear" in them. I think the pebbles and rocks in the last two do this well, because it almost looks like the tears and wrinkles are part of the landscape. My personal favorite is the one of me standing on the beach, because I like the dramatic (dark) tint to the colors and the fact that it fades into white in the background, because it blends with the paper well.
