Villager Parent Quotations

Polaroid sent me to the Winona School of Photography. They wanted us to understand more about the professional process.

I always got compliments on my photos. I would think about what I wanted in the photo and compose it.

We get in the car, and we find unexpected images. We go to church, and stop to take pictures of the cows, horses and buffalo around here.

We were passing a church in the North End, and there was a wedding going on. I told her, 'Let's go in and take some photos.' We were in the back of the church, and I got a great shot of the bride illuminated by a shaft of light from one of the windows. I felt bad I couldn't get her a copy of the image.

They were producing all different kinds of test film, and people were asked to try it out. They wanted to know how average people would use it.
