Polaroid SX70. Polaroid ATZ film.

 

I wasn't going to post this one - I don't like it very much. But then I got tagged by rebeccamissing. Apparently I had to post the fifth image in my fifth folder, whatever it happened to be.

 

This is the kind of thing I would normally never do (redolent as it is of chain letters, but without even the promise of eternal happiness to motivate it). However, the 5/5 thing is resonant for me, as the 5th of May happens to be my birthday. Also, rebeccamissing is one of my very favouritest Pola-people. So I had to do it.

 

I keep my polas in little books, and the fifth book I started was the ATZ book, and this was the 5th ATZ shot I did.... As I said - I don't think it's much of a shot. I remember the impulse behind it, and thinking "yeah yeah this'll be great" as I pressed the red button. And then that slow sinking feeling as I thought "hmm. this doesn't really work, does it?"

 

Still - sometimes it's interesting to see the ones that don't make it - the stuff that normally stays behind the scenes, but is all part of your learning process.... And for that reason alone, I am hereby tagging the following people:
