This weeks inspiration comes from an artist called Mikael Kennedy. I stumbled upon his work on another website and was immediately drawn to the beauty and simplicity of his style. The work that is being featured are all polaroids.

You can go and see more of his work at: http://www.mikaelkennedy.com/ but here is a small sample here

The series 500 Polaroids is represented by Peter Hay Halpert Fine Art Gallery

The last two images are from the Old Stories series.

If you know of any fantastic artists that deserve to be in the lime light here on AllyKatDesign, please feel free to leave a comment or send me an email here.

I was having a look at the Poladroid website only to find out that there’s been a new version released It has several bug fixes and it now offers photos at 400 dpi which is perfect for printing. It still has all of it s old features of the different photographic effects and it still has the same sounds and the ability to “shake” the polaroid while its “developing”. So much fun for free – its great

If you want the software, then go here: Poladroid.

Have fun

Ahh the joys of having the day off and surfing the net! Feels great after having some many none stop go go go days.

During my surfing of various photography websites, I found this little gem hiding away. The website is Poladroid and you can download this nifty little program where it will turn any jpeg image to a polaroid photo. All you do is drag the image to the front of the camera icon, where it loads up and then makes a clicking noise and process the image. The image pops up on your desktop as a polaroid and then slowly develops! I have officially become addicted. While writing this I had already processed 30 images, with plans of processing a whole heap more. The best thing about this program is that it generates the effects of a polaroid randomly, so you always get a different effect which you are unable to predict.

To show you what I mean, here’s the same image done 4 times with the program.

The only downfall of this program is that after you have done 10 images, you need to shut it down and restart, but apart from that, it great!

What you can also do as the photo is processing is take snapshots like this:

This way you can get different effects of the same photo.

I have included a few of my favorite photos  for you to enjoy!

If you want the typewriter font that I have used to label the photos, you can download it here.

Have fun with the software ^_^
