The sequel to Aldridge's \u003cem\u003ePlease Return Polaroid\u003c\/em\u003e of 2016, this book presents new and vintage Polaroids from his more than 20-year archive in a seemingly random sequence shaped by a dreamlike logic and surprising juxtapositions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease Please Return Polaroid\u003c\/em\u003e explores Aldridge's dedication to analogue processes where cut-and-paste is still a manual process, made with scissors, gaffer tape, intuition and not a little patience. Aldridge continues to use Polaroids as part of his work-in-progress \"sketches,\" often scratching, tearing and taping them together, even drawing over them; each mark part of the creative act.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKnown for creating immaculate photos of a less than perfect world, Aldridge revels in these unpolished images, transforming some into extreme enlargements filling double pages with their re-worked and damaged surfaces.
