Mostly Polaroids – Dougie Kennedy
Polaroids: Eldritch Toys Triptych
[Camera: Polaroid SLR 680 – expired impossible project film]
I took these Polaroids at The Barras Market (Glasgow).
Spattered on the wall
Bright red on cheap white plaster
Bleeding myself dry
Spend too long dreaming
Malcontent waiting for change
Instead of living
Knuckles grazed in rage
Naturally peaceful hands
Artlessly grasp hope
Polaroids: Kittens in SPACE Triptych
[Camera: Polaroid SLR 680 – impossible project film]
Absolute KITTENS IN SPACE + 3 terrible sci-fi haiku.
I am your father
Look at family photos
Resemblence is strong 
A five year mission
To bang sexy aliens
But never phone home 
Seeking space pussy
Where no man has came before
Go bold or go home
Polaroids: Black Bra Triptych
[Camera: Polaroid SLR 680 – impossible project (expired) monochrome film]
Lovely wee set of three photos I took of a friend earlier this year with some Haiku about breasts, STDs & cum (in that order).
As you come undone
Hook by hook – i’m an addict
And I need my fix
Unlike suffragettes
It won’t be your bra that is
Burning tomorrow
Seamen timpani
Drumming on your chest and neck
Love note wet wiped off
Polaroids: Halloween Triptych
[Camera: Polaroid SLR 680 – impossible project BW film – out of date 2/16]
Frightful.
Sexy Halloween
I can not understand why
Some people slut shame
What have you come as?
An existential nightmare –
Help find my meaning
Nothing scarier
On the night of Halloween
than life grown-up
Polaroids: Wytches Triptych
[Camera: Polaroid 600 – impossible project film – double exposure]
Halloween is soon… So I took these right sPoOky witchy double exposure Polaroids and wrote a triptych of haiku about witches n shagging and probably some other things too like despair, loneliness and euphemisms for vagina. One love. xoxox
Cast a spell with looks
Love potions not rohypnol
In your warm cauldron
Succubus seduce
This keen heart – so willingly
Bewitched by beauty
Trial by ordeal
My entire life – ending
Without miracle
Polaroids: Snapchat Filters for Polaroid Triptych
[Camera: Polaroid SLR 680 – impossible project 600 colour film (out of date – 11/15)]
OMFG just worked out how to get Snapchat filters for Polaroid.
Butterfly halo
Airbrushes, slims and sparkles
And that is okay
A crown of flowers
Can’t alter promiscuity –
So don’t be stupid
I’m a little dog
It doesn’t make me a hoe
I look cute AF
Polaroids: Redemption Triptych
[Camera: Polaroid Impulse AF – impossible project 600 colour film (out of date – 11/14)]
Immoral sex acts –
Slowly digging your own grave
With favours of flesh
Gratify desires
Tie up heavy burdens – then
Remove your panties
Compassionate heart
Casting off darkness in light
Corrupted by faith
The sun still rises
On the wicked and unjust
So do what you love
Polaroids: ABANDONED // BROKEN // WASTE OIL
[Camera: Polaroid Impulse Portrait – impossible project 600 colour film]
E.U. exit plan
is dystopian future –
you can smoke in pubs
no more immigrants
close down the borders – nation
of jobless racists
Britain votes to leave
manufacturing is dead
oil is now worthless
Polaroids: SALES // BROKEN // REPAIR
[Camera: Polaroid Impulse Portrait – impossible project 600 colour film]
An early morning diversion took me passed an old electronic store. It was closed and it’s shutters were down. I only glanced at it as I went by on a bus and saw what looked like an interesting painted typeface on the shutters. It reminded me of photos of 1970s New York and I thought it would make a nice Polaroid or two. Worried the shop would be open and the shutters up by the time I’d nipped home to grab my camera I hurried back. On my return the shutters were still down, reading the services advertised – among them sales of cassettes and video repairs – I would guess the shutters haven’t been up in a long time.
The walk home brought me to an abandoned ‘Computer Play’ arcade machine. This graffitied relic sits dead outside a newsagent in Govanhill unloved & unplugged. RIP my childhood.
