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:
... and let's see whatcha got!
Polaroid SX-70 with Expired ATZ film (09/09)
To the solemn sea the old women come
With their shawls knotted around their necks
With their fragile feet cracking.
They sit down alone on the shore
Without moving their eyes or their hands
Without changing the clouds or the silence.
~ From The Old Women of The Ocean, Pablo Neruda
cissie and i drove down the coast yesterday afternoon -- low clouds coming in but with a few breaks to make for the most gorgeous far-off gleam on the water, and i swear the waves were breaking in slow motion, at a very low ebb tide...
I kept my ATZ in the fridge all this time, wanted not to spill it. Today I could not resist anymore. First time use and I just love it :-)

Polaroid SX70. Polaroid ATZ.
OK, so as if his father's poem wasn't enough, the Tarkvosky Polaroids book then goes on to deliver an extraordinary statement from the man himself - one that seemed exceptionally relevant to what we're doing here in Roid Week, so I'll be quoting it as we count down to the end of this amazing five days....
"An artistic image is one that ensures its own development. This image is a grain, a self-evolving retroactive organism. It is a symbol of actual life, as opposed to life itself...."
- from 'Time Within Time'
by Andrei Tarkovsky
new camera arrived today! a lovely SX-70 i found on ebay, & some ATZ film to go with it.
i managed to snap this picture of my desk before realizing the sx70 doesn't have an autofocus like the SLR680 -- but i kind of like the result anyway...
Polaroid SX-70 Land Camera Model 1 + ATZ.
Artistic Time Zero from the Impossible Project - this scan taken within a couple of hours of the shot, and matched as closely as possible to the colours on the original Polaroid. It looks quite different seven months later, I'll wait a little longer and share the re-scan results later this year.
utter cuteness overload here -- these two are basque hens, and will grow up to look like these
happy end of 'roid week, everyone -- it's been fabulous!!!
our stormy day is clearing up again, and while this was taken a few weeks ago, it's a reasonable stand-in...

'autumnsongs' is a series of Polaroids taken in the fall of 2009. Each photo has an associated musical accompaniment (listed below).
autumnsongs track 15:
artist: kristin hersh
title: flooding
album: N/A
I didn't do this for any of the other photos in the series, but here are the lyrics to Kristin's amazing song. You can read more about it and listen to it here: www.kristinhersh.com/flooding
"i can pinpoint the moment you closed your eyes
and said yes to the flooding
like melting you shrugged off the clothes of your life
and, well, i hope you remind me it's here
at twice the speed
hungering
for someone who left in half the time
fuzzy
fumbling
that thirst is gone
we're alone
a parking lot plea
begging
for a future you need"
-- Kristin Hersh, Flooding
I feel like christmas and easter together :-) this shirt is selfmade for me by a good friend and the new film came yesterday!

Taken with expired Polaroid Artistic TZ film and an SX-70 Alpha-1 camera.
I didn't realize I had bought some Edge Cut ATZ film, but I think the horizontal "seam" works with these landscapes.
after a summer of endless fog and chilly days, we're suddenly having a crazy heatwave, temps over 100 -- this was taken the last time it was even close to hot, which was july 3rd...
