Originally, my plan was to take digital images of modern and contemporary objects or people. I was going to take them into photoshop, where I would manipulate the photos so they would have somewhat of a vintage look (circa 1970's). From there, I would crop each image and frame it in a Polaroid frame, to make the modern images look "retro-fied."

Though I still intend to stick with this plan, I had a sudden interest in actually purchasing my own Polaroid camera. Suddenly arriving upon this idea, just one week before the due date, probably wasn't the most realistic option. I do, however, plan on bidding on a Polaroid 600 today and see if I can find one that will ship quickly. I think that it would add interest to my installation (at least, for me that is).

Once I have collected several images, I would like to cover a portion of one of the dark-paneled wood walls in my room. To showcase my installation of my blog, I will attempt to scan each individual "polaroid" and document the entire piece as well.
This was my original inspiration:

I have always been drawn to the look of too many images on a wall, and I love the different shapes and sizes of the frames here. This inspired me for this project because of the overall layout. I thought about doing something with frames, but I thought that it would be a good opportunity to work on my (lack) of photography skills. When I finish gathering images, I might consider framing them in larger frames with no glass or background.

It would also be cool to make the frames different colors...time is really the only issue here.
