Scandalous number of favorites at the moment ...

^ Ah, the twin elevens clash and you find this shot of the flipped four, heeled. Well, they sum the same it seems. Let us add no further to this total. All is well as is.

such high standards you have. 6 is not low. no no not at all sir. but sure....we could make it 5th or FOURTH! ....does that suit you, your majesty?

^ I don't know. . . how high do we have to climb to get to the top? Must be Esther, right? Must be Esther and her scurrilous pack of chatty friends.

just to up your ego, this shot has the sixth most amount of comments on all of polanoid. its well deserved. later.

^ And if we start a dialogue here, it should rise, no? Fortunately, my ego doesn't rest too heavily on comment rankings, else I would be dashed as surely as eggs upon rocks by my lowly ranking.

i think this is one of my favourite of the series.

i've always thought that a woman can signal her desires with her shoes and bring the world to attention with the most subtle acts of body language..
this is a beautiful shot. perfect style.

^ Thanks. Just found out that it won some sort of shot of the day on a wee German blog. Funny how pix travel the web. . .disconcerting if you're aiming to get paid, which I'm not (well . . .). This pic proved to me once and for all that the Polaroid must be respected.

ok. one last comment. ( on these pictures..)
yeah. now i understand that polaroidswap-thing.
( i think)
and i think i forgot to mention that these shots, and your model are beautyful.

^ thanks arne! iunderstand AND don't understand...I'm alternately thrilled by Polas and bored to tears....in the exciting periods, I try to shoot like mad.In the bored, I try to resist selling all my cameras!

i don´t think that my shots look like i´ve lost the joy. :-)
in fact i´m ( at this moment) stopped caring about, what other people might find enyoable with my pictures...ok..i still liek to count the views on my page..but..it would be so easy to take some shots that cater to " the flesh and it´s desires" ..

^ which is EXACTLY what was so weird for me . . .taking these kind of shots. . .and I think it's great to put yourself in a situation, creatively, that is outside one's comfort zone. actually, let me clarify that it works for ME. . and I recognize that it may not for everyone. I think that's the better way to frame the impetus behind the Polanoidswap - trying to shake things up for those of us (myself absolutely included) who do not consider themselves 'artists' but only hobbyists who need a kick in the pants from time to time. I hope that makes sense and I do love what you're uploading. Cheers.

funny, but i like this one the best..of all these underwear shots.. all of these are nice..but you are no match to dillenseger. i can´t understand the reason for this polaswap ""thing" anyway. we´re all individuals and creative and see the world in our own way...so why try to express yourelf in someone elses "way"?
be yourself. shoot what you like. copy nobody.

^ the polaswap idea is merely to have fun with people with whom we've been sharing ideas for many months. of course we all work on our own photography - this side project is a humorous diversion, nothing more. the day you've forgotten how to have fun in creating things, the day you forget that creation is pure joy, is the day you've taken things far too seriously and lost The Spark. Carfeul, Arne - sounds like you may be on the verge.

This is one of the most beautiful polas I've ever seen, here in this inspiring site, or in exhibitions and books. I can feel the mood of polaroid in this picture. And I'm still thinking about the hot situation that probably happened that day. +++
only fav..too late for have my vote

^ Wow. What a really nice comment. . . the most flattering I've received to date, in fact. I have to confess that, while I rarely take pride in any photography as it isn't my 'calling' I do take a wee bit in this shot as it came out almost perfectly. Thanks for your truly nice words.

quite brilliant sir :-) .. congratulations

^ David! Thanks . . . you are to blame, in part, for this series! After all, it was you who was pushed to copy D. Dillenseger and you did such an incredible, incredible job with it that it made me realize that I need to push my own boundaries as well.

Congratulations Tod!! You broke all the records.. It is such a wonderful image, clearly the work of a very talented photographer. Enjoy your big day!! :-)

^ Or a lucky one. Really. I have fun with the Polaroids, but the real talent is out there with you and a number of others who inspire me to 'pretend' from time to time. I say this not in false humility, but in all honesty. It's simply fun for me.

does a thing called make things like this??
or are maybe things like this that make us flow one into the other...?

phylosophy sucks...
we just found us!

(bel colpo amico - congratulations for the 28)

^ Thanks! I don't know that this shot is going to lead to deep philosophical meanderings. . .but be my guest! Heh.

beautiful shot ...

^ Thanks, Master SBJ! I look at it and think it must have been taken by soreal or another of the 'masters of light' on this site. I learned some new tricks that day.

ah, and tod, i don't wanna hurt your feelings, but i think this was the climax of your polanoid career. if you ever want to top this picture, she has to take those shoes off. or at least her panty.

don't be sad, esther z. schnickenacke is currently dealing with the same problem.

^ Sigh. How about just loosening a buckle? Can't we ease into this? Don't count me out yet, damn it!! Just wait til I upload the fish sculpture shot I took on the same day! Oh, it's a stunner, I tell ya!

Congratulations, Mr. Sixblueten, incredibly well desserved!


28 votes! Must be a record

^ Thanks, Uri! I don't know about the 'record' but it's really fun, this one. A is getting a huge kick out of it, when she isn't a bit embarassed about it!

congrats mister, i missed this serie ... it's fantastique .. and this shot is superb! 28 people can't be wrong. consider a 29th vote from me too.

^ Thanks! Very cool and very rewarding in a crazy way, as we both put ourselves out there. . .me in a 'photo craft' sort of way and A in a very obvious manner!

damn dude! you are ripping it man. Congrats! You are fucking triumphant ! Im so stoked for you!

^ It's fun, for sure. . .to go out on a limb and have this little insular community reward you. . . on the grand scheme, not a big deal, but as our collective hobby is pretty personal, it's quite nice.

all i see are those tiny wrinkles in the foot, a part of the body so neglected, so rarely seen, yet so fascinating.

^ Also, they make for a perfect focal point in an otherwise dim shot. . .without them, I'd have no reference point. Without them, I would surely be lost!
