'Dewey Nicks: Polaroids of Women' is new from T. Adler Books!

"In some ways these Polaroids have more authenticity than what ultimately ran in the ads or editorials," Brad Dunning writes in Dewey Nicks: Polaroids of Women. "The subjects knew when Dewey was shooting 'for real' but in these Polaroids the women look more relaxed, not quite yet turning it completely 'on'… They are like ice cubes these memories, these Polaroids—frozen in time moments on paper, fragile, melting, fading, on their way out. They can be gorgeous, especially at this stage of their disintegration, with the chemically imperfect edges and soft Outerbridge-like muted colors… The photos may fade but memory is more permanent than ink."
