Well, actually not.

They're part of a series I started to make in nov. '02 that I called  
'Polart'.
It are cropped scans of un- or bad exposed Polaroids of which I  
compressed the development strip unevenly.
It is a totally 'organic' and unique process.
And I kinda like them, too.

All the rest is babble, ofcourse.

This Morando thread just gave me the opportunity to present them to  
an incredibly talented but somewhat conservative audience, and  
completely out of context.
This way I was sure that opinions ventilated about it would be just  
people's real thoughts, stripped from any politeness, since they'd  
think I was only ridiculizing another one's work.
Thus, about getting the pure truth.

Now, you may find that manipulating, but pure truth is hard to find.
And I really wanted to know what peple thought about it.

Haven't had many ractions until now, but those that appeared on this  
list always said something in the likes of 'this one I like'.
So rather positive.
Maybe there's something in those images anyway...
