Polaroid SX-70

This is work I have done over the last few years using SX-70 time zero film. Images are scanned with a 4870 Epson Photo Scanner and some are corrected a bit in PhotoShop, but the main manipulation occurs directly on the film. See other Polaroid processes here http://www.pbase.com/halesr/polaroid

Delighted to see some alternative process work! An inspiration to get back to some of the techniques. I guess with the end of SX-70 film, these images are going to be collectors' items. Refreshing! Stay inspired; keep working!

Very original and creative processs. Intresting compositions too. Artwork I think. You get my vote, of course!
Cory Easter 01-Sep-2006 02:55
Great work.

You had stopped by the SX-70 gallery asking about the phasing out of Time Zero film. Polaroid has something up on their web site saying it was going to be discontinued earlier this year.... http://www.polaroid.com/sx70/en/index.html

If you have not stockpiled a bunch you should probably get your hands on some while you can.
Dave Gilbert 18-Jul-2006 15:26
Very clever stuff
Yves Rubin 12-Jul-2006 02:04

Tony Tan WJ 20-Apr-2006 17:01
Very nice works! I had an old SX70 but never ever master it. Could you enlighten some skills on how to manipulate the film to achieve quality like your photos?

Even after looking at your Polaroids several time, I find myself drawn to look at them again and again. Lovely work and a wonderful eye, Rene. DURR

Who says you need a nikon......
Mary Bowles 30-Apr-2005 13:19
What an amazing gallery. I adore the effects and information. But, "manipulation occurs directly on the film"? Very mysterious. The effects are beautifully suited to the subjects. Altogether surreal and impressionistic. I shall be back.
Ron Horloff 13-Apr-2005 22:43
I really like the effect you have on these images - quite beautiful.

i have that camera/film at home and have forgotten about it until now.
any pointers on how to do it as good as you have done?
Eldar Kadymov 28-Feb-2005 03:45
Regardless on how it's done, it's simply amazing ! I just cannot belive that this all is straight from the film ? Vote, of course, but its some secret for sure !
Marielou Dhumez 23-Feb-2005 23:09
Lovely gallery ! Is that Bonnieux in Provence ?
