For these posts, I usually choose a particular artist who inspires me, and feature pieces of their work that speak to me in a certain way. Well this time I’d like to rock the boat a little, this week has been a special one, with a celebration of all things Polaroid going down on Flickr. Polaroid Week 09 has just come to a close, and I would like to share some special polaroids by various photographers.
Here are a few of my favorites from the pool, some that had me going back for a second look, some that had me glued to my seat searching the tiny details, and some that just plain blew me away…

A few shots from a roll of film shot in a favorite cafe of mine.
It’s a lovely spot for a coffee, but I always end up going home with much more, it happens to be an antique store too.

After a few months lived in limbo, we’ve just finished moving into a lovely old home. There is still plenty of unpacking to do, and lots of furniture purchases to make—a sofa would be rather awesome—but it feels like home. It’s old, it has it’s quirks, but that just adds character. It’s also filled with light, fresh air and so much space … exactly what we needed.

I came across the work of Emir Ozsahin on flickr recently. His stream has a richness and depth that instantly appealed to me. I find his black and white photography incredibly inspiring, in particular the bathroom set, his everyday candid moments are high contrast masterpieces.
Emir’s underwater set is a place of magic, filled with shadows, light, ghosts and emotion.
I recommend a visit to see the whole set, perhaps when you have time to get lost.
For now, here is a little peek…
