A conversation with artist April-Lea Hutchinson
April is a photographer / model from London Ontario

“My work as a photographer is part of a longstanding relationship with the camera that began with modeling. I have a fondness for film and a deep desire to photograph people as people, breaking from expected norms of beauty. In my work, I look for emotion, try to tell a story, and reveal the beauty in my characters. Beyond the aesthetic qualities imparted by instant film and long exposures, my empathetic relationship with the person in front of the camera infuses my images with comfortable intimacy and perhaps a touch of nostalgia. I create timeless images using a mix of Medium Format and Polaroid Film. I am a purist at heart.”

Celebrate (and Win!) "100 Polaroids"

The Film Photography Podcast (Internet Radio Show) is celebrating Instant Photography by giving away a copy of Patrick Sansone’s new book “100 Polaroids.”

100 Polaroids is a Limited edition, hard bound book of 100 Polaroid photographs taken by Patrick Sansone on his various travels.
Each book is individually numbered and signed. *
* From the Wilco Store

Who is Pat Sansone?

Musician, Photographer Pat Sansone is a multi-instrumentalist in the rock bands The Autumn Defense and Wilco.

Sansone's tremendously tuned ear has led him to become a studio musician and producer. His own project The Autumn Defense was formed in New Orleans in 1999 with friend John Stirratt of Wilco, and the band is responsible for three full length albums. Pat and John’s new album “Once Around” will be available November 2, 2010.

While on tour, Pat roamed around downtown Tulsa, Oklahoma, Polaroid in hand, snapping photographs of old parking lots and buildings. As he notes that Polaroid discontinued their line of film, he muses on the passing of an era. “It’s been interesting going around the country and going into small towns, because a lot of what I like to shoot is little details of old downtowns, capturing these little pieces of a fading America with a fading technology.”

My Polaroid One Step Close-Up camera that I'm giving away with Pat's book.

To make the giveaway extra special, I’m donating a Polaroid 600 One Step Close-Up from my personal collection of Polaroid cameras.
