Final Day of 'Roid Week, Spring 2010!

Yesterday was the last day of 'Roid Week for Spring 2010, and I posted three photos! First, I posted these two (there is a limit of two per day/per person), both of Orson, my little dog, and both from my February session as a tester of the new Impossible Project film:


Orson Giving Me His Look
When Orson wants something, he sits up really straight, looks at you with this face, and high-fives you and makes weird little noises until you submit to his will!


Orson, February 2010
I love his cute profile and the grain in this photo. However, no one else seemed to like this photo in the 'Roid Week pool, and yesterday morning, I shot the below photo of Laika, so I took this second one of Orson out of the pool and added this one:


Laika, 7 May 2010
I used my Sx-70 and Fade to Black film for this one.

Overall, 'Roid Week was amazing, and I can't wait until the next one in the Fall!

Roid Week-Day 4!

'Roid Week keeps on truckin! Here are my two contributions to today's pool!


Channels
This is one of my shots from my experience as a tester of the new Impossible Project integral film (called Type 40 in the test), using my SX-70 camera. I love this flower and the way each petal has discreet channels for water and nectar to flow in and out.


Fade-to-Black Orchids
Can't.Stop.Photographing.Orchids.
This one was taken using my Sx-70 and Fade to Black film, then scanned about 2 minutes into the development process.

Only one more day of 'Roid Week for Spring 2010! I need to figure out what my last two shots will be...

A Simple Bouquet


I love the beautiful wildflowers of spring, and on Friday, I got myself some poppy anemones from the Texas hill country to enjoy. I decided to take this photo of them, and I hope you like it.


Poppy Anemones (2010)
Camera: Polaroid SX-70
Film: Polaroid Fade to Black
This photo is in the process of fading to black, but I hope to solarize it and share it again later this year!

There's a print of this photo in my Etsy shop. Have a beautiful week ahead!

My First Fade to Black Photography

Have you heard about the beautiful limited edition Sx-70 Polaroid film called Fade to Black? It's available from Polapremium.com, and it's extremely unique. The images for this lovely film--made from very expired Time-Zero chemicals--fade to black after several hours! They are ephemeral, magical, and yet, you can save them, if you stop the developing process using a variety of easy--albeit messy!--techniques.

I've had a few packs of this film for a couple of months, but I just got around to shooting my first image with the film yesterday--and I am already in love! I took this photo of my whippet, Laika, and scanned it within a minute of shooting.

I cannot wait to shoot more of this beautiful, mysterious film! Stay tuned!
