The Flatiron, New York Print

This is such a well known and photographed New York icon, the challenge was to take an image that has some originality in the way it is seen. Shot with now very rare expired Polaroid Type 100 Film. In 2010 production of all Polaroid pack film ceased. Each pack of Polaroids have a unique colour range as the expired film and chemicals age. I continue to use this film to this day. Quite often the pictures are devoid of people but the architecture speaks of a human presence. Polaroids have a timeless quality - nuances of a historical photographic process which allows the subject to be looked at minus the trappings and associations of a particular point in time or history, which can enhance one's focus.
