After saving up for a while, I bought my first 35mm camera, an Olympus Mju. Shortly after, some friends and I went on a trip to Rotterdam in The Netherlands. We took the subway there and really liked the green tinted lighting inside. Not being able to hold back excitement to shoot my first roll of film, my friend took a picture of me mock-shooting my camera on her Instax Mini. It‘s not as technically impressive as some other instant film photos she took that day, but I personally like this one the most :)
I loved the Fuji FP100c peel apart film in old Polaroid pack film cameras until it was discontinued. This abstract was a long exposure of Christmas lights outside using a Polaroid Land Automatic 100.
Hard to choose, Dimitri! I’ve decided on this spectra sheet which captures the beautiful tones of expired Polaroid complimenting the buildings and sky.
I shot this photograph of the Mackinac Bridge with a Sinar A-1 on early New55 film. They had issues with their developer pods; sometimes they wouldn’t break. In this case, the failure resulted in a developed picture where the line of the emulsion matched the line of the bridge. I couldn’t take this one again if I tried.
Here‘s a of my favourite building to photograph, an old radio station from the 1930’s. It‘s located in the middle of nowhere, and it‘s always a bit surreal to come out of the forest to a clearing and see this concrete cathedral, as it‘s nicknamed. The pink novelty film makes it even more out of this world.
This picture is almost twice analog. It’s an Instax portrait of my sons during our holiday in Denmark. Then I took a picture of the polaroid on some 35mm slide film. And yes, then I cheated, because I scanned it ;-)
I don‘t own any Instax cameras, and a year ago I bought my daughter a Fuji Instax mini. But Polaroid is a different story :) I really like this machine.
I made a short video that demonstrates how to fold and unfold/open a Polaroid SX-70 camera. It also shows how the film “magically” develops in 15 minutes (sped up, obviously).
