Polaroids

bwharveynicholsa1I just bought a Polaroid Camera (polaroid 440) and have had it for almost 3 weeks now. This one was manufactured between 1971 to 1976.  I’m having so much fun with it and wish I’d discovered this camera about 5 years ago (Polaroid film stocks have almost disappeared and it’s nearly impossible to get a hold of any today. I’ll be shopping for some this coming Friday. The softness of the colour and artistic qualities are truly beautiful and unique.  It’s just so sad to see such an amazing artistic tool about to vanish forever. Fuji makes instant film in the 100 series which works in many medium format  backs, Polaroid 600SE and Polaroid automaic cameras like the one I have. polaroid-collage                                                     

 

On the Fuji the colours are accurate and the and true to life, however i do prefer the unpredictable nature of the Polaroid print and the colour cast it gives. It’s such a thrill not knowing what to expect sometimes. Photographs will be available for purchase in my online print shop soon.
