Artist Matt Schwartz knows how to turn an everyday something into a extraordinary art. His company 'She Hit Pause Studios' allows [vintage-lovers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nikons-vintage-popup-diner) to purchase a vast array of [large format polaroids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polaroid-trance-camera) displaying various 70s-style images. What's even better is that the photos are framed by barn wood, adding to their [vintage feel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paint-mirror).

While there is no description on any of the images, one can't help but wonder what the backstory to all of these intriguing photographs are. I guess only Matt Schwartz will know and the rest of us will just have to use a bit of imagination.
