Slava Pirsky


I was surfing through the Polanoid site the other day when I came across this image. I followed the bread-crumbs to his portfolio and found a wondrous bunch of photographs taken with an SX-70. Slava Pirsky. How, I wondered, did he get such colors? I haven't asked him.


I wrote to him and expressed my admiration for his photographs, and he sent me a link to his blog. I wrote to him again and asked if I could put up some of his photos and link him here.

I immediately took out my old SX-70 and tried to recreate these. Couldn't do it. I will have to give great sacrifices to the art gods, I'm afraid.
