Description "In Greek mythology, the Lernaean Hydra (Greek: Λερναία Ὕδρα was an ancient nameless serpent-like chthonic water beast that possessed numerous heads". (From wikipedia.org )

I was passing through the street this morning, after picking some cigarettes at the kiosk and saw this street light. Some weird flash ran through my mind and I thought of the street light as Lernaean Hydra, because of it's four 'heads' (lamps). So, having only my SX-70 with me, I took the shot [the colors are like that because of a DIY-packfilter I made, which crappy as it may be, it gives some magnificent looks to expired 600 film] and then manipulated until I had the result that first popped into my mind. Guess that makes it a mix of analog & digital darkroom.

Wow! It looks fantastic! It's simple but very very good. Polaroid photos are great.

What's the difference? I believe that we shouldn't alter polaroids too; we should keep them as they came out of the camera, but that's just me enjoying the randomness of polaroid. Here I had a vision of the picture before I even grabbed the camera. I had the polaroid with me that day, it could have been the digital camera or the film one, I would have still manipulated it to look exactly as the picture in my head.

If it's a matter of clean photography VS. manipulated one, well -- I do manipulate some of my photos in order to get that. I don't go into debates over whether or not we should; it's all part of the game called expressing yourself!

Μερικές φορές το μάτι πέφτει πάνω σε πολύ απλές και όμορφες εικόνες και το μυαλό φτιάχνει ιστορίες όπως αυτή εδώ...
