The Japanese Philosophy that changed my photography - a Polaroid I-2 project

Today I'm taking you with me as I begin a new photography project with the Polaroid I-2 that is based on a Japanese philosophy that changed my approach to photography a couple years ago.
Thank you so much to Polaroid for their support. If you'd like to check out the I-2 camera or their new film you find them here: https://shorturl.at/cZIHo
