Description
The second issue of my polaroid zine is called “Barbara in the cities.” While most of the time I travel solo, sometimes Barbara joins me on a journey. However, since I narrate everything about my trips to her, it feels that she’s somehow always there. Therefore, I often think that Barbara saw what I saw. That’s not valid, though: she only knows some places through my photos.
You won’t easily tell if Barbara was there or not. But this confusion is done on purpose: what’s important is how you feel one’s presence. So while you’ll see polaroids of Barbara accompanied by cities/towns, the truth about past journeys might remain hidden. That said, Polacosmic #2 is all about presence.
At the end of the zine, you’ll also find a short index with the locations and the cameras I used.
A few facts about the “Barbara in the cities”
Here you’ll find specific details about “Barbara in the cities.”
- Together with the cover, this polaroid zine has twenty pages.
- It’s printed on high-quality saddle-stitched US Letter paper: the covers are 300 gsm, while the inside pages are 150 gsm.
- Polacosmic #1 contains only color polaroids.
- All copies are hand-numbered; usually, each edition consists of 20 copies. Check the current edition at the bottom of this description.
- None of the polaroids presented in Polacosmic was altered. That said, there’s no post-processing. The only touch is a +20 in sharpness for printing optimization. Therefore, the colors, the grain, etc., remain intact. Polaroids always should look like polaroids.
- As I wrote earlier, international shipping costs are included in the price. I use standard shipping to keep down the costs.
- There’s a 7-day money-back guarantee; however, if you decide to return the issue(s), you’ll have to pay the shipping costs.
- Your Polacosmic issue(s) will dispatch within 48 hours. The zine(s) will be posted on Monday morning if you order a copy during the weekend. The day it ships, you’ll receive an e-mail.
- According to the post office, you’ll have the zines within 5-7 business days.
You can pay either via credit card or PayPal. LettersToBarbara uses an encrypted SSL protocol; therefore, your transactions are safe, and no one can see your card details.
I have tested everything carefully multiple times. If you run into an issue (like accidentally buying the same copy twice), just contact me. We will solve everything together within a couple of hours.
