'Camera Solo' - Patti Smith.

Some interesting reflections on the process and art of photography in this I though, "...I'm trying to get a good shot!"

BBC News - 'Camera Solo': Singer Patti Smith's first Polaroid exhibition

I watched the abbreviated version and then went back and watched the extended version. In the extended version you discover it is a Polaroid 100 Land Camera she uses for her photography. I'd like to know how she is getting such exquisite images in low light without flash. She is an articulate and sensitive lady. Also, behind her sits an image that is clearly much larger than any image produced by such a Polaroid, so I wonder if some of the Polaroid images are scanned and enlarged. Also, what film is she using? All her images appear to be B&W. I'm sure some are actual Polaroid stock, but I wonder if she is now shooting with the Fuji film. Very interesting. Thanks for posting that Pete! (Makes me want to shoot with my Polaroid 100 again; but I'll have to fix it first.)
