Bleeding Central
Polaroid 195 Land Camera // SUPERSENSE One Instant P7
Wanted to mark the anniversary of the fire at Central Camera amid last year's riot. The camera shop is still operating in an adjacent temporary space and reconstruction here - at the original storefront - is set to begin soon. All the while, the 1950s-vintage neon sign continues to flash in the night.
One Instant P7 is a handmade successor to Type-100 peel apart instant film using leftover Polaroid chemistry; a Kickstarter-funded effort orchestrated by Florian Kaps, who originally founded The Impossible Project.
"Bleeding neon" effect done in-camera by pulling the processing tab with the shutter still open, laterally moving the film inside the camera.
