"Andy's favorite tool was his polaroid camera. Called it his date when he'd go to parties," Jim Hedges said.
Hedges has collected quite a few of the Polaroids. He purchased them directly from the estate. Just about all of them are of people you'd recognize.
"Andy Warhol captured celebrities of the time," he said.
And now Jim is parting with many of these Polaroids, selling them through the website www.1stdibs.com.
Many of those Polaroids became the basis for paintings or prints, but the Polaroids on their own pack a punch.
While many Warhols sell for millions and millions, these Polaroids start selling at 5-thousand dollars.
