Ruined Polaroids by William Miller

It’s beyond doubt that only strong feelings tay beyond destruction if people are involved – hatred, love, envy. However, William Miller wasn’t driven by any of those while creating his collection of Ruined Polaroids. It was all due to circumstances, chance and maybe even luck. Enough ranting, I think he put it best in his own words:
“These are Polaroid pictures run through a partially broken SX-70 camera that I purchased from a yard sale. The camera sometimes spills out 2 pictures at a time and the film often gets stuck in the gears, exposing and mangling the images in unpredictable ways. Over time I’ve figured out how to control and accentuate aspects of the camera’s flaws but the images themselves are always a surprise. Each one is determined by the idiosyncrasies of the film and the camera.”
