Kerry Ball's Polaroids

Have you ever been a passenger in a car, kind of bored and sleepy with road hypnosis, when you just happen to look up at the sky right as a hawk flies overhead with a live snake in it's talons?? Yeah. Seeing Kerry Ball's work was kind of like that.

I came across Kerry's work while I was trolling the "blogosphere" (my brain just started to bleed writing that) for interesting toy camera photography. You can see most of her work on her website and in her Etsy store. She has a ton of great photos shot on her Diana Mini and Lomo Fish Eye, and even some cool TtV (Through the Viewfinder) shots, but I was really stunned by her Polaroids and am looking forward to seeing her collection grow.

"Kerry Ball is a freelance photographer, born and raised in South Florida. Living with her boyfriend and their two cats, on the same block that she grew up on, she spends her time collecting antique skeleton keys, seashells, anything with the number 5, and tattoos. She has a penchant for vintage Polaroid cameras and shooting with toy cameras (Diana Mini and Lomo Fish Eye). Her obsession with photography started around the age of 9, when she received her first camera, a Fisher Price model that used 110 film. From then, it continued with her first Pentax 35mm SLR and then eventually to digital cameras- most recently a Nikon D40x. She can often be found driving the streets of Miami in search of new graffiti murals, urban landscapes, or coastal scenery to shoot; Miami influences her both as a person and as an artist and always will be her home. When not taking pictures, she also enjoys expressing herself through the creation of unique, emotional, and expressive mixed media collages."
