Mostly Polaroids – Dougie Kennedy
Polaroids: Nightclubbing / We’re Nightclubbing Triptych
[Camera: Polaroid SLR 680 – Polaroid Originals film]
Model: Sweet Akuma – [follow her here on instagram]
A lonely secret
Remains unspoken – the one
That still hurts the most
Bereft wickedness
Retaliation has no
Justificaion
Forestall living as
Difficult situations
Play down to new depths
Polaroids: Adult Mags Diptych
[Camera: Polaroid SLR 680 – Impossible Project film]
Saltmarket – Glasgow, Scotland.
Cut with hope to cure –
Encompassed in the tatters
Of heartbroken friends
Catastrophe breeds
Ambition – despite clatter
Spun to vilify
35mm: Church of Christ Triptych
Camera: Canon EOS 1000f SLR on reverse wound AGFA Vista Plus 200 (shot between 50-100)
Paint the windows shut
Censoring intimacy
Suppressing promise
Habitual sin –
Pleasure ends with a crashing
Harmonic cadence
Selfhood gulled, had, hoaxed
Everyday is punishment
For the living dead

Polaroids: Shared Sorrow Triptych
[Camera: Polaroid SLR 680 – expired Impossible Project film]
Poisoning of minds
More intense this suffering
Pity, shame and guilt
Shared sorrow over
Sexual revelations –
Forestall transmition
Eulogy written
On a torn envelope reads
“never been sorry”
…
Polaroids: Everyday Horrors Triptych
[Camera: Impossible I-1 Analog Camera – factory seconds Impossible Project film]
Everyday horrors
SCREAM! – “won’t somebody love me”
Into the pillow 
Clinging to disdain
A coven of cronies bound
In hate and hubris
From a locked retreat
Extinguish a meager flame
With brooding silence
Polaroids: Forest Triptych
[Camera: Polaroid Image (full switch) – expired Impossible Project film]
Eulogy scribbled
On a torn brown envelope
“Never been sorry”
The strict moral code
Imposed on others – We fail
To follow ourselves
Cluttering the mind –
Thoughts to keep the bad ones out
No solace – no sleep
