Just your annual reminder that #Outkast's Hey Yeah is a super pessimistic song about modern relationships, and that you didn't listen to the words even after André 3000 said you wouldn't, and filmed the video in what looks like a funeral home with a damn casket in the middle.

Also, you aren't supposed to shake #Polaroid pictures.

One of those days where I wonder why I’m in my profession if I’m honest (cause I’m good at it and it pays the bills is the answer).

But on the plus side, I have some new photography items to distract me at least temporarily.

In addition to getting the Polaroid out again, I am looking forward to printing more photos.

yesterday at #FolsomStreetFair I gave away almost everything I shot - which was fun to do but of course I only have two shots left of some performers who I wasn't able to give the shots to. Here's the two of them both shot on the #Polaroid I2. I adjusted the exposure on the darker shot after the first one the crosses on the church were blown out. #BelieveinFilm

Also if you know these ppl let them know to reach out if they’d like the actual Polaroids

Backside Nude
Polaraid Negative 1984/2017

In 1984 I experimented with color Polaroid Pack film. I kept the "negative" backsides with the Polaroid images.

They are not proper negatives like from polaroid BW film, but resemble a solarized image on opaque background. They were mostlyvisible when the light hit the right angle.

In 2017, when I scanned them, the "negatives" appearing only as a grey-brown sludge. I wanted to see what was on the image, so I cranked up contrast and saturation in digital post-processing. This was the result.

I also have a few similar nudes, treated the same way, and some portraits of friends, but they are not for publishing.

DM me for a print.

Experimental post-processed "negative" of a Polaroid Pack film. Contrast has been vastly enhanced.
An apricot colored female nude backside disappears in a green-turquoise background. She is sitting on a brown-orange cloth. The image is framed by the markings resulting from the Polaroids chemical processing. The image is very grainy and covered with scratches.

Got this #Polaroid flash a few years ago, but have kind of avoided using it because the magnetic colored gels didn’t sit straight. Even if I didn’t use them, it just irked me that this $75 flash wasn’t perfect. Their tech support wasn't super helpful either, basically saying it won’t effect the use of the filter or flash.

I finally opened it up and figured out that one of the magnets was in sideways. Just needed rotating 90º. Now I actually want to use it!

Hey #BelieveInFiIm friends,

I completely rewrote my Polaroid SX-70 camera review and shooting guide. I’ve learned a few things during my five years with it and got to appreciate it even more.

It was first published in 2019. The new version includes a new exposure guide (yes, that dial!), more hi-res scans, and answers a question:

Hey #believeinfilm friends,

I've been writing a lot about Polaroid this month and as I did, I couldn't find a consistent and complete set of frame and image area dimensions.

So, I made a list of all that data from the manufacturers' websites (although Polaroid seems to be inconsistent!). And I also made a graphic.

Hey #believeinfilm friends,

Ever since Polaroid announced their new I-2 camera earlier this month, I've been publishing articles about their products.

But today I'd like to tell you a story of how we got to this point. As some of you may know, the company and its machines were saved from being crushed seconds before it was all lost forever. This is the story of its incredible survival:

The Polaroid gods just setting the tone for my relationship with my new I-2 🤣

The I-2 has a "secret" mode for SX-70 film packs. Yay. I had some I need to finish before I send off my SX-70 for refurb. This was the first image out of the pack. 🙄

Colour Polaroid emulsion lift on a square white background.

The Polaroid shows a close up view of a branch of a monkey puzzle tree, facing straight on to the camera. It has densely packed triangular leaves, arranged in tight concentric circles fanning out from a cluster in the centre. 

The colour tones are deep rich emerald greens with highlights of yellowish green. The emulsion is very neat and approximately square, with only a few small irregularities at the edges.

The image shows a close up view of a dried out skeletal flower head on a weed in winter. The flower head is an umbel structure, with small stems radiating out in a circular arrangement from a single stem in the centre. The stems closest to the camera are in sharp focus, falling away quickly to a soft blur behind. There is a small wisp of spider web clinging to one of the stems close to the middle of the frame, and disappearing off out of shot to the left.

The colour tones are ethereal shades of deep purple and soft pinks, giving the whole image a surreal dreamlike quality. The emulsion is fairly neat and approximately square, with only slight irregularities around the edge and a small crease about halfway up the frame on the left.

The image shows another close up view of a dried out skeletal flower head on a weed in winter. The flower head is an umbel structure, with small stems radiating out in a circular arrangement from a single stem in the centre. The central stem runs diagonally from the bottom left corner of the frame, with the umbel structure roughly in the centre. The stems closest to the camera are in sharp focus, falling away quickly to a soft blur behind. 

The colour tones shades of deep purple and pink, fading to a dark inky midnight blue at the outer edges, giving the whole thing a feel that is a little like the night sky. The emulsion is approximately square, but with a large number of folds and creases throughout. The creases echo some of the angles in the plant structure.

The image shows a close up detail of part of an evergreen tree in winter, in the rain. Just the very end of one branch is shown in sharp focus, hanging heavy with waterdrops on the very tips of the leaves. The rest of the frame is blurry behind it, showing just hints of deep green foliage and odd points of white where there are more waterdrops.

Thanks everyone for your well-wishes. I'm doing fine, just still in limbo, per usual.

Anyway, yesterday afternoon Chris and I took a ride up the hill to Upper Market to take pictures in the fog. It was the first day of August (Fogust) so, not surprisingly, it was bitter cold and wet.

Here is the view of Noe Valley, the Mission, Portrero Hill, and the bay. The view was so exciting!

#photography #polaroid #ShittyCameraChallenge

A view of a stoplight sitting in on a sidewalk, in front of railing separating the roadway from a steep drop-off below. The signal light is red. And the Market Street street sign is glared-out because, stupid me, I forgot to turn off the flash. 

Everything else (the view) is pretty much lost in the fog.

And being the shitty camera that this is, the colors in the picture are almost completely a cold green-blue.

An abstract polaroid emulsion lift on paper. There is no obvious representation of an image, the shape is rounded at the top and expands outwards at the sides and bottom, the creases and folds of the emulsion could suggest a figure wearing a cloak.

Photo collage of all 10 colour Polaroid emulsion lifts in my exhibition, laid out in two rows of 5 on a white background.

Each emulsion lift is approximately square (except the second last one, which is more of a teardrop shape), and they show an assortment of still life photographs and close up botanical details. Some are quite pristine and tidy, while others have lots of creases in the emulsion. Overall they get more creased and haphazard as you go through the set.

Deconstructed 9 and 10 - the last two Polaroid emulsion lifts from my exhibition.

It was a very deliberate choice to sequence the collection so that the emulsion lifts gradually 'deteriorate' as you progress through, ending with this pair where reality finally starts to crack.

The blur in the final frame is camera shake due to disability. It feels right to have left it in.

See them in context at https://www.galleryafem.com

#Art #Photography #Polaroid #EmulsionLift

Colour Polaroid emulsion lift on a plain white background.

Unlike many of the previous emulsion lifts, this one is very irregular in shape. Parts of the emulsion are missing, leaving it with a sort of teardrop shape overall, narrow at the top left corner and widening towards the bottom of the frame. There are a large number of folds and creases in the emulsion.

The image on the Polaroid is a fairly minimalist one, showing two stems of dried plant material in a dark red glass vase, silhouetted against a light sepia-coloured background. The stem to the left is some sort of allium, with a very large round seed head. To the right, leaning off the edge of the surviving emulsion, there is a dried poppy seed pod on a long stem, with a second narrower stem twisting around it. The creases in the emulsion surround the vase and plant stems in a way that is reminiscent of lightning.
Colour Polaroid emulsion lift on a white background.

This time the emulsion is complete and approximately square, but it has darker edges that are folded over themselves to create a sort of framing effect. There are a number of long deep creases that criss-cross the frame in a way that resembles cracks - a particularly prominent cluster of these emerges from halfway up the left edge of the frame and fans out towards the centre.

The Polaroid shows a fairly minimalist image of the same dark red glass vase, this time with a cluster of dried plant stems with delicate umbel-shaped seed heads. 

The plants and the vase are blurry, which combines with the folds in the emulsion to create a sense of cracking and distortion of reality.

Minimalist colour Polaroid emulsion lift on a white background.

The image shows a simple dark red glass vase with three stems of dried plant material, against a slightly textured warm sepia-toned background. The plant stems are all umbel shaped seed heads with a cluster of 'spokes' radiating out from a central stem, with tiny dried out flowers on the end of each spoke. 

The emulsion is approximately square, with slightly uneven edges, one or two tiny folds, and small patches of chemistry stuck to the emulsion in places that give it a texture slightly reminiscent of a plastered wall.
