Hearding Jellyfish

an emulsion lift is one of the really interesting things you can do with a polaroid print after it has been developed. the process intrigued me and now that i’ve got my hands on an honest-to-goodness polaroid, i had to try it. i’ve got a vision of a series of shots i want to doContinue reading “Hearding Jellyfish”
