The Atlanta Photography Group has a Push Pin Show every year around Valentines Day.
On opening nights, I've been making portraits like these on and off since 1987.
They used to be made with my Polaroid 600SE and Type 665 pos/neg film. The discontinuance of that fine film significantly marks the end of an era. The fleeting nature of it's positive and the stability of the properly treated negative brought a Dorian Grey like quality to portraits from that time.
Now I use little HP 300 series printers that use the very stable Vivera inks. Color. Nothing stays the same and yet, nothing really changes.
