Honoring Black History Month with @zunleephoto’s Joyful Polaroids

To see more of his photography, follow @zunleephoto on Instagram, and see more of Zun’s found Polaroids on @faderesistance.

It all started with a handful of Polaroids found on a city street. Now, Zun Lee’s (@zunleephoto) project, Fade Resistance (@faderesistance), has amassed over 3,500 instant photos, chronicling the African-American family experience in the United States. “There was so much love and joy and affection, and these photos were so full of life,” the Toronto-based photographer says. “The question then is: Why are so many of them out there? And what does it say about how they end up on the street?” Zun’s collection largely hails from the Los Angeles area — the majority were taken in the 1980s and early 1990s — capturing life’s milestones, moments and everyday scenes. “When you see pictures that resemble one’s own experience, it’s much easier to empathize and to humanize a community that might not be your own,” Zun explains.
