End of an Era

Polaroid Corp ceased manufacturing the Time Zero film in December 2005. An era of 28 years of Altered Polaroid photography had ended.

Michael Going has long been internationally recognized for his innovative work with Altered Polaroid SX-70. Cited as the 'Master of the Manipulated Polaroid' (Photo District News), Michael was first celebrated for groundbreaking editorial essays in Sports Illustrated, Time and many other publications. His unique work has been profiled in leading graphic and photography publications including Communication Arts and American Photographer. Since 1978 he has created a vast body of work including essays on Paris, New York City, Los Angeles, the Ballet and numerous other subjects. Going makes large limited edition prints of his work that are in museums, corporate and private collections. The photographs shown here are from his Los Angeles series.
