Viva Polaroid! Maybe I’m a bit late with that one, what with Polaroid going bankrupt and ceasing production, but I can’t get enough of Polaroid film.
All summer long (and by summer I’m referring to the months of June through August when it is not supposed to rain!) I will be shooting the last bit of Polaroid film I own. Running around Snohomish County trying to capture the horror that is known as “The Summer Job.”
We all had one. Heck, I had about three in any given summer. I specifically remember working for a bagel company next to a 400 degree oven in June! In Ohio! If that’s not bad enough, my hair stunk of garlic, and my hands reeked of bleach (I had to wash walls down with bleach and a piece of steel wool) all summer long.
Flippin’ burgers, mowin’ lawns, baggin’ groceries, pickin’ berries, etc…
What was yours? I want to know. Seriously.
Even better, are you, or your son or daughter, currently dreading one of your own? I want to photograph the dirtiest, stinkiest, hottest, stickiest most dreadful summer jobs out there. Oh, and the worker has to be in high school. Recent graduates are O.K. as well. Drop me a line at:

Put the words “Job On-A-Stick” in the subject line.
I want to do this last batch of film justice!
p.s. hilarious uniforms are a HUGE plus.
