Toys on Roids

I recently saw a friend showing this to another friend saying how great it was etc. and couldn't resist a little peek at it myself.. and they weren't wrong. It's an amazing collection of around 60 photos of classic and modern toys, all shot using a Polaroid SX-70 by Sean Tubridy.



The collection ranges from cute little 50's robots, to really cool 70's cars, all with their own unique story to tell. The best part is the fact that these photos have not been manipulated or Photoshopped in any way; what you see is literally what you get, and we all know how difficult and unpredictable shooting with a Polaroid can be.

As you flick through his Flickr stream it becomes apparent the lengths he goes to to create these wonderfully animated images. He uses different backdrops and often elaborate sets to really create a feeling of childhood imagination, but with a more adult twist of humor.

To view the entire collection, go check out his Flickr - http://www.flickr.com/photos/seantubridy/sets/72157603732440197/with/2329551886/
