Flower Face
August 9, 2007Shooting instructions for this particular Homage to Magritte:
Find a bowler hat, then find a large flower with a long stem. Put the bowler hat on (and a nice shirt and suit) Make sure the flower's stem is rigid enough and grip it between your teeth, pointing the flower straight towards the camera so it appears to be as large as your face. Trigger the camera using a remote release cable for your Polaroid camera, if you're lucky enough to have one (as I am) Finally, thank Rene Magritte for being a genius.
Camera: Polaroid 680 SLR Film: Polaroid 600 Integral
If this image appeals, you may even like some of my other Magritte inspired polaroids, such as The Quiet Room and Magritte by the Sea
