april 24 Polaroid Week 2008, originally uploaded by robayre.
Wow, I’m blowing through polaroid film this week like it’s going out of style (or maybe just being discontinued).
Have you seen the Save Polaroid site? They have a survey up, go take it.
One thing that makes me really sad about the end of instant Polaroid Film is all the stuff I wanted to do, but will never get the chance. I’ve always wanted to try emulsion transfer with polaroid, and there are so many different types of cameras and films that I never got to use. I’m still trying to get over the end of joycam and i-zones :(
I came up with the idea to make some polaroid buttons like this one and will hopefully add them to the shop soon, so keep an eye out for those.
You can still do emulsion transfers with Fuji’s FP-100C, FP-100B, and FP-3000B peel-apart films!
I have a Polaroid back for my 4×5 view camera… just for emulsion transfers in the field…oh so sad…..
