A PERIOD OF JUVENILE PROSPERITY

Mike Brodie

Mike Brodie “The Polaroid Kidd”

A Period of Juvenile Prosperity For three intense and prolific years, Brodie crisscrossed the states hopping trains, hitchhiking and employing whatever freely available means to fuel his burning lust for movement.

Brodie’s camera functioned as an extension of himself, an obsession.

There was no thought-out intention to document or record, the resulting images just happened after Brodie found a Polaroid sx-70 on the backseat of a friend’s car.

“Most of my inspiration was drawn from old-school American values mixed with a little punk-rock idealism”

“That life is romantic a lot of the time, at least in the spring and summer.

So long as you like the outdoors life and you don't mind getting dirty and not having a change of clothes for months, it's pretty great.”
