Description

Collection - Ghosts of the Prairies Title - Elevator Row [Inglis] Edition 50/50 Free Mint Medium - Polaroid 669ER Expired Film Artist/Photographer - Stephen Murphy aka The Polaroid Guy The Collection In the early 1990's I set off on a road trip from Calgary AB, Canada to the western edge of Ontario, the Canadian Sheild area. To and fro I captured grain elevators on film in MB, SK & AB. These were shot on Fuji Velvia CN slide film. Once back home in the studio I used the slides to create Polaroid images on EXPIRED 669ER film using Daylab Slide Printer. Many images have film aberrations, colour shift and other flaws. The resulting images were what I was hoping for: A ghostly, weathered look mimicing the grain elevators themselves. It has taken me thirty years to get to this point where I feel comfortable in sharing these with you. I hope you enjoy this journey as I release them 2 a day over 20 days: One standard Polaroid & one double exposure Polaroid. Elevator Row - Inglis MB This could possibly be the last significant remaining row of wooden grain elevators on the prairies. Here 5 remain and are now part of a heritage/museum project to honor the history, cultural significance and sheer majesty of these Prairie sentinels.
