“Boston” Grant Hamilton, 2007.

Using his 30-year old Polaroid SX-70, photographer Grant Hamilton, of Iowa City, IA, creates beautiful geometric “abstract photographs from found objects and colors.” [France]

Josh Spear posted a great interview with Hamilton back in March.

JS: Your pictures are - and this could just be a personal feeling – incredibly cooling. Do you consciously work within those colors and exposures to produce that effect?

GH: I don’t know. Many of them use warm colors. One question I frequently get is about the intensity of the colors. I’m often asked if I do that in Photoshop. I wish I had some secret technique, but all I do is make sure that there is plenty of sunlight, just like the package insert says. I think they are calming because I try to edit out everything unnecessary. I think good photographers are mostly just good editors.

On the Flickr page for another photograph, he details a conversation that took place while shooting the Polaroid.

Me: Mind if I photograph your refrigerator?
The dude behind the counter: Why?
Me: It’s just something I do (showing him others like it)
Dude: Are you going to make money from this?
Me: Millions of dollars. I’ll give you half.
