Natural Selection
I had taken this Polaroid of a landscape scene about six months ago and tucked it in the visor above the passenger seat of my car. Time and weather took a toll on it and actually made it into something more than it was. The way the cracks spread across the film in the same fashion as the branches of trees is an almost perfect replication. I think I’ll start a dashboard series.

I love this piece of art.

Love the happy accident, Jim. I wonder if I could get the same effect by leaving my CF card in the car for 6 months. I’ll give it a shot and get back to you.
