Colorshade Still Lifes (or, Instant Photography Still Lives!)

I keep shooting and shooting, but I haven't had a lot of time to scan photos lately. However, I do hope you'll enjoy these still life photos I've taken with the beautiful, new Impossible Project PX70 Colorshade film for Sx-70 cameras.


St. George's Absinthe Verte
I love this wonderful California-made Absinthe by St. George's Spirits.


A Basil Bouquet
I have a massive (as in, over a yard tall!) basil plant on my walkway. I took some cuttings and made this impromptu bouquet. After a couple of weeks, I noticed that it was not only still ultra-fresh, but it has grown roots, so I gave it to a friend to start her own plant.


Delicate
I love the delicate pink color that appeared on this photo. It lends a new life to this familiar orchid, I think!

I'm so grateful to the Impossible Project for all that they are doing to make it possible for us all to shoot beautiful instant photos! It's an exciting adventure to be shooting these first-generation films, and I am doubly-excited to share them with you!

Color Shade is Here!

The Impossible Project keeps amazing me with their inventiveness! They've been working hard, creating new films--from scratch!--for all of us who love to shoot instant Polaroid cameras, and they just released their first color film! It's called PX 70 Color Shade, it's made for the SX-70, and this is the first photo I took with my first pack. The film takes a few days to fully develop, so I scanned a few versions, to show you how the images transform.

Here is the photo has about one hour of development. I love the cracklature effect!


Here's the photo about 17.5 hours after exposure. Notice the colors becoming richer and the illusion of cracklature disappearing...


...and here is the photo about five days after development.

I am in love with this new film, and I'm excited to watch the Impossible Project's progress as they reinvent instant photography! Thank you, IP!
