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).

Martin Parr in NYT Magazine

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.

Look at Sugar Shock first, though.
