Did he use a Polaroid, or Instamatic?
Probably because of THAT, I see these photos as being suspiciously photo shopped.
If you've been around a lot and your eyes have been "woke" all those years, there's a TON o'stuff up there in the memory banks.
Just sayin'
These guys use a modified canon EOS to make some pretty cool pictures.
