Polaroids is an intimate portrait into David’s life, friends and environment, photographed by both him and friends. The series include Bruce Balboni, Nan Goldin, Lisa Love, Cookie Muller as well as family. Many of them also appeared earlier in Night and Day.

Having just finished Night and Day with David back in 2012, David then turned his attention to a series of Polaroids from the 1970s that came to light.

Together with David, we worked on this book, and neither of us thought he would not be here to see it published. The book was finished - and the very last detail we added was a poem by Frank O’Hara which David requested in his last email about the book.

The book also has a reproduced (photographed NOT printed) polaroid in each cover - to give each book a unique and special touch.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
