I like the washed-out colors of polaroid. This unique style is really timeless – no hype nor a short term fashion – since decades. As Polaroid stopped to produce new films in early 2008 the prices climbed and climbed since then. It`s time for me to try out how to get those beautiful colors of polaroid 669, polaroid 690 together with photoshop cs4 and lightroom instead of searching for the last polaroid film stock in shops. Here are my first results. I chose some images from my trip to Las Vegas – Nevada – Utah and California to try out ‘digital polaroid’ on american landscapes and street photos. The american style simply ‘cries’ for polaroid colors… It`s not perfect – not at all – but a good starting point to experiment with ‘digital polaroid’ in the future.
