so there’s a guy named rick demint that i’ve bumped into a couple times. he goes around the US to festivals and events and takes polaroids and has the subjects sign them. he calls them portroids. the pic above was taken a couple weeks ago at the vail film festival when i played a show and also presented my buddy zach with an award. check out rick’s website. the pics are pretty interesting, usually catching people off guard. sure, some are pose-y, but most of the shots are relaxed and seem to reveal people more than most photos do. my favorites are the people that have a look that says “who the hell is this guy?” - then he charms them into an autograph. haha. rick has shot EVERYBODY! he even got obama. cool site and good dude. and i love that in a digital age he’s sticking to his ol’ polaroid camera.
