when i walked up to the show to see hundreds and hundreds of people--------- a line an hour long-------- no room to breathe------------ i'll admit, i was excited.  i submitted polaroids to this show a while ago, having no idea how big it would get.  i'm sure they didn't either. polaroids were submitted from all around the world, and kevin staniec did an amazing job curating the show and putting it on.  kevin! you rule.

everyone with cameras, taking pictures of pictures.

and every time i saw one of my FACE i was so surprised that i everyone around me must have thought i was nuts.
