Laura Letinsky: Time’s Assignation, The Polaroids

Chicago-based photographer Laura Letinsky (born 1962) used Polaroid Type 55 film as part of her working process until the film was discontinued in 2008, exploring focus, composition, exposure and light in black-and-white instant photographs as she worked up to the larger-scale color works for which she is best known. Like sketches, the photographs in this volume—small, slow and raw—reveal a process of asking. This way or that? More or less? Now or then?
