Poladroids

For precisely a week, I was quite obsessed with making polaroids via the Poladroid project. The last of my experiments is pictures of people I like - or nearly always like - original pre-polaroid pictures naturally taken off the web (and the award for my favourite pic goes to - drumroll - Lorca!). And just by way of trying to make this post a little more than a polaroid showcase, some well known factoids on them.

L: Federico Garcia Lorca: Spanish poet, killed in the Spanish Civil War at age 38.
R: Marcel Proust : shares my birthday :-) more seriously wrote In Search of Lost Time/Remembrance of Things Past, right up there amongst the best books ever written.

L: Octavio Paz; Mexican author, political and ambassador to India in the late sixties.
R: Eric Rohmer; French New Wave director, apolitical and still making films that are essentially the same yet watchable.

L: Agnes Varda: also French New Wave and living proof of rocking it at age 80.
R: M.S. Subbulakshmi: divine voice, iconic and a different kind of role model for growing old.
