Cameras are getting fancier and fancier, so appreciation for less refined methods of photography are becoming a niche specialty, like taking daguerreotypes, or using a pinhole camera. So it's always interesting to me when people take beautiful photographs with such limited means, like Mike Brodie and his rather expressive polaroids.
You have a lot of photos of gypsy sort of people. Who are these people and how did you stumble upon them? Friends of yours?
Most of these folks were once inhabitants of a small beach side community in Bugress, Maine. Most being adopted children and middle class run-aways. But they're shanty little homes were giving the town a bad image and were forced to be leveled to make room for a blanket of high rise condos. So I guess the handfull of polaroids I have of these people would be the only true documentation of the diaspora of this once thriving group of whatever you want to call em.
