a few weeks back david alan harvey had spent some time with MEM in Charlottesville, during one of her prom nights and then posted up on his blog about the experience,
“one of a kind”.
he mentioned that she had around 15 assistants, three of which handle the banquet size polaroids.
I would love to see polaroids of that size. they must be beautiful.
