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 PM reply 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.

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?

Mary Bowles PM reply 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 PM reply 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.

Eldar Kadymov PM reply 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 !
