Polaroid‘s television ads from the ’70s and ’80s featured “husband and wife” James Garner and Mariette Hartley promoting the new products. Here are a few where they advertise Polaroid’s Sun Camera (it’s alright if these bring a tear to your eye).
In the spirit of recent “art photographers” making their mark on the “fashion world” (see my last post on Alec Soth in W Magazine), I thought I’d point everyone to today’s New York Times Magazine featuring a spread by the one and only Martin Parr. In Sugar Shock, Parr turns fashion accessories and jewelry into delightfully colorful, and nearly edible, objects.
As a side note, Mr. Parr has apparently been doing other editorial work for New York Times, as he has a few images accompanying this article.
