Eternally
searching for fresh creative experiences, Kirkland traveled
to New York City in March and June of 2000 to work for
the first time at Polaroid's 20x24 Studio, with hopes
of discovering a new realm of expression. He explains,
"I had been photographed with Polaroid's 20x24
camera at a PhotoEast trade show and had met John Reuter
who manages Polaroid's New York 20x24 Studio." |
