Just a short update,
been shooting more film. Charlotte gave me another 600 camera, which is unfortunately broken, but Dan and Duncan said they could fix it (they must be magical). unfortunately it's a camera that has only expensive film. i've been keeping a close eye on camera/film deals on ebay but so far, some are 600$! i will scan in my new Polaroid images tomorrow. I just wanted to update you all on where i am at. but so far, right now, for the cameras that i have, film is going to be 30$ and very hard to come by.

money money money money MONEY
EDIT EDIT EDIT EDIT.
So i changed my idea from the QR Codes.
I changed my idea because i just didn't feel passionate about it.
i am a senior now as of this semester and i really just wanted to do something that made me excited about making art and photographs.
so i decided to go back to taking Polaroids with this film i bought for my polaroid 600 camera. the film is very rare and very expensive, so i have to choose each shot very carefully. i want to do transfers and emulsion lifts with these photographs and at the end i will have a series on different hand made papers.
i am so excited about this project because it makes me feel excited to be making art again. i really needed this spark of inspiration to really make me excited to do what i love to do.
so of course I should have known that money would be a set back in this project, but I am determined to continue on with my new idea of using Polaroids.
the idea i have is to take photos and then do Polaroid transfers with them on home made papers.
the transfers are really beautiful and are a lot more than just taking a photograph.
the transfers would look something like this
as for the film/camera issue, I've been looking on ebay for a new camera that would be easier to buy film for.
if not, i'll be continuing to buy the 28$ for 8 exposure impossible project film.

reading up on QR codes has really taught me a lot. it makes me more excited for this project.
here are some more creative ways in photos to use these codes.
I will also rewrite my artist statement as I continue my project. The beginning of this project started off pretty fast paced and now I'm at a stand still just waiting to do more shoots in the studio which will happen this weekend. I will also be doing a shoot for my hair salon and i will probably use some more shots from that for this project.
