"A Fair Night - Polaroid", by Michael Smith. Born in Southern Ontario and moved out to Ottawa in 2016 for school. He picked up photography as a hobby in the summer of 2019 and quickly fell in love with old cameras - the quirks and individuality that each camera presents. He now runs a business with his partner, @Crimson.ltd where they buy, refurbish, and sell film cameras. Along the way, he has gotten the opportunity to test all sorts of different cameras and discover the var...ious personalities that some cameras seem to have. This has become a sort of haven for him in the midst of all the pandemic mess. The series A Fair Night was shot in the Fall of 2019, when Michael was delving deep into the film scene. The initial idea behind the shoot was to capture the nostalgia he had from visiting fall fairs with his family. While that was a success at the time, he finds himself coming back to these photos with another perception of nostalgia. This time, he's left feeling nostalgic for the idea of a fair, in a public place. He never imagined it would happen like this, let alone so fast.
