I'm contributing work to Fashion Statement, an upcoming exhibition at Mary Stanley Studio in Castleberry Hill, Atlanta. Using Polaroid’s new portable technology my subject is the fashion choices of the people I see every day, my Armchair coworkers. Making a daily capture over the length of the show, October 2-24, I'll will be adding a new 2×3″ print each day. The final piece will be the culmination of the show duration. Join us during the Castleberry Hill Art Stroll on Oct 24th, 6-10pm. Mary Stanley Studio is on 211 Peters St. SW, Atlanta, GA 30313. Google Map it. Tel. 404.892.3211.
Are you using the POGO portable printer or something else? I tried one and couldnt get consistent color out of it.

Yep, it's the POGO. Yep, the color varies with each print. At first I was even getting the occasional banding streaks, but that doesnt happen any more for some reason. It's like the print head matured with time.
For me it's been more about embracing POGO's limitations. It's low print quality and limited color gamut are trumped by the portability and immediacy. I even print with the ugly date stamp on. It's about the ephemera nature of cheap printing to me.
