Imaginary Editorial

If I were to do a an editorial in a fancy magazine today, it would look something like this. 

Dreams in Polaroid

I took this photo on Friday and this is exactly why I take polaroids. Every once in a while, almost never when I expect it, I am surprised with a dream that develops before my eyes. This is one of those dreams. 

Recent letters & polaroids

Dear Friend,

I’ve now sent out almost 450 letters and polaroids. Each one is a labor of love and each letter and polaroid is unique. What I love most is that they cannot be reproduced; there is only one original and that is only for one person. Here are scans of four letters and polaroids I’ve sent out recently. Well, you don’t actually get to see the letter part, just the envelope. Just a tease. The letters themselves are full of secrets.

Love,

Balthazar

Title: Philosophy

Sometimes I forget

Sometimes I forget about photos I’ve taken and then rediscover one and fall in love all over again. That happened today with this photo. I hope it happens for you, too.

Summer Potential

I walked to the lake yesterday searching for summer

and stripes

and skin,

but all I found was the spring chill

and a silent, potential summer.
