Mike Brodie, a.k.a The Polaroid Kid, is the creator and main photographer behind PLRDS.com - a site devoted entirely to Polaroid photography. His recent body of work is a beautiful documentation of the boys and girls of modern day railways. The Polaroid Kid’s photography is spooky, inspiring, and thought provoking all at the same time. With today’s digital advancements, it’s refreshing to see an artist produce great work with a traditional medium.
Does anyone know where I can contact Mike Brodie re purchasing a photo or two?????
I love his work …
These photos are advertisements and are of a world that is illusionary. That may be why you like them. They may serve as some sort of intermediary like bridge between your bourgeois lifestyle and a life beyond, a life in which everyone is perfectly dirty, perfectly young, perfectly beautiful, and perfectly dressed. Photographs of young people al a River Phoenix where tattoos and Nikes are prerequisites for poverty is the very antithesis of the reality of poverty. Reality seen through the lame-brained vapidity of a corporate lens.
Well said Rocky. Totally ignorant and non-nonsensical, but it has a certain rhythm to it. Kinda like what you would expect from a frat boy in his first year at University riding on his mommy’s dime.
I rode frieght trains for 11 years of my life and most/all the time your so broke that you are given or dumpster dive your foot wear. I cant tell you how many times I was given an ugly ass pair of nikes from a drop in..so relax, you pretty much wear what you can get you grubby paws on at the time.geeeez
so contrived,like a polished turd!
Rocky sounds like the pseudo-academic douche from Good Will Hunting.
