The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that things fall apart. We all die. With this we come full circle, from beginning with patterns, into shapes, which then form scenes, and now back to shapes and patterns which fall apart. #PolaroidWeek #PolaroidWeek2022 #BelieveInFilm https://t.co/zAsIRM9RSL

@MaureenBond @photogcowboi Nothing stopping you from posting here on Saturday. It’s only on Flickr, the spiritual home of #PolaroidWeek, where the pool closes today.

Gears Last day of #PolaroidWeek, last couple of shots. This one is more representational, and the last one will pull back to full abstraction. I’ve had great fun with this project, working in a very different way. #FilmPhotography #FilmIsNotDead #BelieveInFilm #BeNiceShootFilm https://t.co/PO2jmrHtLn

A package from Ape Records showed up today. It included something by Peter Blegvad and Andy Partridge that had a DVD with some videos on it — including this one that used an approach not a million miles away from my #PolaroidWeek photos this week https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gB5lNIsDb7Y

Beach To me, this is a specific place. But by making it abstract, it becomes more general. To you, it may be a different place. #PolaroidWeek #PolaroidWeek2022 #BelieveInFilm #BeNiceShootFilm #FilmIsNotDead https://t.co/lBqq4FAyvB

Amber Waves of Grain Still abstract, but also an element of representation. This is the wheat fields of the midwest, but also of Ukraine; the colors of those of the Ukrainian flag. I linked to charities in my RoidWeek project on Ukraine at https://www.flickr.com/photos/thereisnocat/albums/72177720298384252 #PolaroidWeek https://t.co/rWK6eEnPXX

City Another abstract representation. Out of five shapes, we get a city street. Or maybe something else, you tell me. #PolaroidWeek #PolaroidWeek2022 #FilmPhotography #BelieveInFilm #BeNiceShootFilm https://t.co/iYLXiETf9A

I don’t spend much time on @Instagram any more, but I am posting my #PolaroidWeek photos there because I said I would after the last one. I always look at IG via “Following”. They’ve changed it, though. It was in chronological order. Now it’s not. WTF! Enough. I’m done.

Colorforms I was showing my Roid Week photos to my wife last week. When she got to this one, she exclaimed "Colorforms!" It wasn't what I was thinking when I made it, but damned if she wasn't right. #PolaroidWeek #PolaroidWeek2022 #BelieveInFilm #BeNiceShootFilm #FilmIsNotDead https://t.co/EK8DjYiP1B

Weave Another #PolaroidWeek shot of shapes, a twist on something I did a couple of months ago with found shapes, applied to shapes I’ve constructed. #BelieveInFilm #FilmIsNotDead #PolaroidWeek2022 https://t.co/0TsjC9jyJM

A Girl’s Best Friend It's #PolaroidWeek on Flickr. I decided for this one to revisit something I did for the #ShittyCameraChallenge #InstantRegret event a couple of months ago about shapes I've twisted that slightly by shooting only shapes I've constructed. #BelieveInFilm https://t.co/tZLYbFdWXi

I took all my #PolaroidWeek photos and write-ups and posted them in a single post to my weblog. If you missed it on @flickr or @instagram or @tryglass, or if you just want to see the majesty of my Ukraine Polaroid project, you can see it at https://www.thereisnocat.com/showme1008.html

Closing out Spring Polaroid week with a pair of matched M1900 6-inch guns from Battery Gunnison on Sandy Hook.

Tomorrow is our 19th anniversary. Today, my wife gave me this Christmas ornament in the shape of a Polaroid OneStep. That’s why we’ve been married for 19 years…. (And it’s perfect that this week is #PolaroidWeek, yeah?) https://t.co/Y636fE0SZG

Cannon This cannon on Sandy Hook was once part of the defenses of Fort Hancock, the Coast Guard base at the northern tip of Sandy Hook. Fort Hancock was set up to defend New York Harbor. Like us, Ukraine has a coast to defend. #PolaroidWeek #RoidWeek #Polaroid https://t.co/yoJpVCbiG5

Belford Harbor I shot my last pack of #Polaroid 100 Chocolate in August. Figured I better get to it before it went bad. Out of the pack of 10, I got 9.5 photos. A week after shooting it, I saw packs for sale on *Bay for $1200. There goes my fortune…. #RoidWeek #PolaroidWeek https://t.co/qM4r6d1Qpj

I haven’t been taking many pictures lately, and especially few Polaroids. This is the only thing I’ve shot in the past six months that I think is marginally worth posting for #PolaroidWeek . #Polaroid #instantfilm #mintcamera #slr670s #sx70 https://t.co/0hFnncftCL
