This is a Polaroid of the Providence Fruit Terminal Building that is being demolished as I type this description. As usual, I was lucky enough the have been able to photograph it the day before the demolision started. Seems to be my luck for such subject mater.

This building was purchased by a developer for a VERY low price in regards that the developer wpould restore the building. As usual, they did not do so. And in return the developer was given an Emergency Demolition permit because the abandoned building was seem as a safety issue. Wow, what a shocker.

This shot was taken INSIDE this building. Taken on the second floor, we found stenciled Panda's everywhere. It was kind of freaky actually.

Shot using Polaroid 672 Black & White Instant Pack film. ISO 400 with 90 secs developing time. This shot was also scanned in color. It dried as a purple color similar to Fixer when it goes bad.

Holgaroid 10 of 10 from Pack film.

In the story My Precious Polga.
