Deep down, I'm a square, color person. Then I happened on some grant money, bought a wista, tried type 55, and was hooked. With my Mamiya and a borrowed backdrop from Lenny Wayne (that's a whole nother story), I had already set up a "photobooth" at a church bazaar. I charged $1- for a portrait, then mailed the large color prints a week later. With the polaroid, the gratification and exchange became immediate and big. These are images that I shot at "photobooths" in rural South Carolina.
