Camera: SX-70 auto fucus
Film: Artistic Z (fadetoblack) expired (10/2009)

So i used a new technique on this photo, "fadetoblack" film is where after you take a polaroid picture 12 hours after it starts getting darker 24 hours it would "fadetoblack." but there is a way for it not to completely go black, after you take the picture you cut the edges of the polaroid and split the the image in half, you leave it as is until the quemicals are dry and thats the way you stop the process of the film.

  1. hmm. so funny you posted this, because i was just thinking about getting some of the fade-to-black film earlier today! i didn't realize that it's 12 HOURS, and not normal pola-developing-time, that you wait for before making your mind up where to stop the developing!

    MAN. obviously i missed the boat on that one. (which only means that now i HAVE to try it!) :)

    also! lovely, lovely photo. i think the lighting and colour are just perfect!
