If you enjoy beautiful Polaroid photography and great fiction then Tod is your man. Check out his writings at Pola-fiction where he creates a story around a photo. His photography can be found at juneten.com.
Tod has a new show coming up May 9th at the Micro Gallery inside the Ray Modern Design Studio in Santa Rosa, CA. Todd will be displaying and selling his enlarged, high quality, limited giclee prints. This looks like it will be an amazing show.

This is from Tod: “As you may know, Polaroid has abandoned film production. Accordingly, this is the end of a vital photographic era, one that was championed by such luminaries as Warhol, Maplethorpe, Ansel Adams, Chuck Close, Lou Noble, Tarkovsky, Bravo, Mollino, Kim vanGroos, Walker Evans, Jim Lucio, Drew Baker, Bryan Cowe, Wegman, and Annie Liebowitz.

I really hope you can join me on May 9 at the Micro Gallery inside the Ray Modern Design Studio in Santa Rosa, CA as we gather to say farewell to an era. This won’t be my last exhibition, as I’ve a stockpile of film that will last me a year or more, but it will be something of a wake. So bring your Polaroid camera, if you have one, and we’ll sip a cocktail or rootbeer together and commiserate. “

Ivan is an amazing artist. If you are in Portland check out his latest show at the Newspace center for Photography.

Ivan Wentland’s stunning series of color photographs titled “Beautifully Broken”. Living in Honolulu, Hawaii, Mr. Wentland, through experimenting and curiosity, has developed a unique chemical manipulation he first conceived during three years of working in commercial advertising. The images are first shot with an SX-70 Polaroid camera using Time Zero film, at which time the manipulation is done with heat. High-resolution scans are made and then printed as limited edition lambda prints. No Photoshop is used in this process.
