{FAUX} laroid

 A couple of weeks ago, fox and I were organizing a new

office space we moved into and came across an old Polaroid camera

equipped with a stack of film. We were ecstatic and anxious to dust

it off and test it out. Much to our dismay, the camera was pretty quick

to disappoint. The pictures were not developing. We did some research and

came to the conclusion that the film was bad...

Great we thought, that's easy to fix!...YIKES. The new polaroid

film does not come with a light price tag. As we sat there feeling a 

bit defeated with our expired film we began to play around with 

some ideas.

It started off gluing pictures to the old film, using them as 

frames. Fox thought of the phrase "fauxlaroid" and this new adventure

began to unfold. I remember, back in my photography days, a common

exercise most teachers practice in Beginners class about framing and cropping.

They would give you a cutout frame from card stock and you would

 walk around holding up your frame in various places. The idea of it was

to practice the method of composition and space. And so began

the concept of the FAUXlaroid. We've been having fun

trolling around on our adventures with our FAUXlaroid frames

and creating various pictures.

If we've sparked some interest or inspiration in you

join the fun on Instagram using the hashtag 

#FAUXlaroid

We look forward to continuing this project

and seeing what great new projects develop from it....pun intended!
