Purity criteria?
Something that I’ve been struggling with since I’ve started shooting Polaroid is the decision to digitally alter the images after scanning. If I’m bumping tonal range and filtering the imperfections, how is that any better than people turning digital shots into faux-polaroids and holga shots? I haven’t come up with a definitive answer to my dilemma, other than “I can do whatever the hell I want to.” This will have to do for the time being, because it isn’t like I’ve shot any masterpieces that this decision really becomes critical with. Having said all that, below is the extent I’d probably be altering anything in the future. The results are rather subtle, so I’m anticipating people looking, shrugging and moving on.
You said.
