Trying out a round Polaroid

"That instant film could live on as both image and object...made it an ideal future archive. A message in a bottle. This was it, it said. This was the end for me."

Mike Scalise for The Georgia Review: https://longreads.com/2025/04/09/polaroid-death-machine/

Sunday morning abstract: the blank slate of memory.

A Look Inside Polaroid’s Only Film Factory on Earth https://petapixel.com/2025/03/03/a-look-inside-polaroids-only-film-factory-on-earth/ #factorytour #instantfilm #polaroid #factory #Analog #analog #News #film

Sometimes the image comes through clearly. A nice surreal look and feel.

Another unique FP100-c transfer onto #archespaper ; a sunset this time.

The paper’s texture adds a beautiful roughness and imperfection to the image. I love not being entirely in control of the final result.

Gasping for breath in the acrid alien atmosphere I stumbled to my knees. I saw tall structures and, as I fell, I thought I glimpsed tentacles rising from the ice.

I thought “Vote, I must vote!” and consciousness fled.
