OneStep 2

My SX-70 Sonar stopped working. Well, the nifty sonar auto focus did anyway, manual focus works fine.
I thought it would be a simple fix, and opened up the housing. Nothing looks wrong mechanically, so I guess it's the electronics.
This is 1970's electronics (just look at the big hunk of a motor), but still way beyond me. Fortunately, I know how to check for simple things like cold solder joints and all that electrojigglyjumbobooga stuff. Yeah!

left side: me in 1982 or '83, taken by one of my parents. i'm holding up two fingers, which, initially, led me to assume that i was two at the time; but on the back of the photograph, my mum wrote "3" underneath my name. anyway, i'm a little blonde kidlet in that one. :)
right side: me, now (2007). the hair's a bit darker, i'm a bit older, and i'm wearing glasses.
either way, i'm posing with the same camera--a polaroid onestep land camera, first manufactured in the late 1970s. my parents have had it for longer than i've been alive. recently, i got some sx-70 blend film for it, so i can have a little fun. whee!
edit (feb. 12, 2008): i suppose with polaroid discontinuing all their film, this "then and now" takes on a whole new meaning...a very bittersweet one, at that. *nods*
Week 25 is dedicated to the Impossible Project. TIP was formed to bring back Instant Integral Film after Polaroid stopped producing it. They went as far as purchasing the last factory in the Netherlands.
PX70 Push, was the second released of colour film from Impossible. Personally I could never get this one to work right but I suspect there's something up with my camera.

This is another full page advertisement from "The New Yorker" magazine dated May, 21st 1979 for the Polaroid SX-70 instant film and announcing the "Polaroid SX-70 Sonar OneStep" camera.
One of the main breakthroughs with the SX-70 series instant film was that it was an Integral film (develops automatically) that had improved color saturation over earlier pack films.
The unique feature of the "Polaroid SX-70 Sonar OneStep" was that it featured an automatic focus; while other OneStep cameras were either manual or fixed-focus. This was achieved via a miniature "Sonar" device, which would emit sound waves from the camera, and by measuring the delay of the reflection the distance between the camera and the subject was calculated. Then the shutter speed and focal length of the lens was adjusted automatically. At the time (c. late 1970s) automatic focus would have been considered very high-tech.

Polaroid Originals instant color film.
I found this camera in a thrift store and was playing with it when, POP! it took a photo. Turns out that someone donated it with film in it. So, this is the result - an unintended photo!
A day at the barn...
Shot with a Polaroid SX-70 Land Camera Sonar OneStep camera on Impossible Project PX 100 Silver Shade "Orange Flash" film.
this onestep express polaroid camera is producing alot of disappointing results, but I still like the feeling of this one.
tonight I am editing images of times spent with my friend who recently passed on, for a slideshow of his life in moments to share at his celebration of life on Sunday, Eric is playing the piano at the service.
somehow, doing these small things helps us to feel like we're doing something to help lift the veil of sadness.
...needless to say, I'm full up with emotion.
just reaching out through the fog to say, hi friends.
23/365, This factory is just down the street from me along the Manayunk towpath. I love you can see the ice forming on the canal. This film truly shows off my 100+ your old neighborhood just like it should.

Montréjeau, France
Montréjeau is the larger town in the immediate area where we were staying. A trip to the street market in Montréjeau yielded us some Espadrilles, a bunch of fresh vegetables and breads, some local cheese and some amazing saucisson sec (dry sausage).
Seen at the defunct Joyland amusement park; Wichita, Kansas. Captured with Impossible Project PX600 Silver Shade film and a Polaroid OneStep Express camera. Bigger / blogged over here.

Welcome to my, chronologically, 5th project, or my 4th assigned project this year. From this point forward, this will be known as my 4th project of the year. I was assigned this project with a completely different idea back in early December 2016. Unfortunately on December 15, I broke my wrist in an accident. As a result, I wasn’t able to work on it for almost 2 months. Not until February did I really began to work on it, due to complications with the injury (not being able to develop because of my cast), I decided to work on my 5th assigned project, The Memorial Project Q2, instead of The Unnoticed Camera Project. After completing The Memorial Project Q2, I dove right into this one. At this point my cast was already removed and I could develop film again! Originally I had intentions of capturing random things in my house: my toilet, my sink, my desk, etc. Although, after think about it for a month, I decided to do my own camera collection.
The project was originally titled The Unnoticed “Roll-O-Film” Project; however, I decided to change it to The Unnoticed Camera Project as it’s more specific to the project. Before that, however, it seemed kind of vague. Anyway, I’m proud to present The Unnoticed Camera Project. I will not be talking about every image individually, I might talk about a few, but I’m going to keep it very general, for there are about 12 images! This is possibly the biggest project I’ve ever worked on since The Musical Photo Project from Photography II.
In this project, I captured my own camera collection. I think I have about 18 cameras at the most in my collection. I didn’t even capture them all either! I chose my top 12 most favorite cameras in my collection to take. I shot the project with “premium” on my side. I shot the images with my favorite point and shoot, the Olympus 35RC. This small 35mm camera takes really awesome quality shots, and it’s in great shape despite it being roughly 40-45 years old! At our school, our teachers nicknamed it Dennis Rodman. Anyway, I chose to shoot on Eastman XX-5222 Black and White Motion Picture film, I love the balanced contrast it yields, and it’s perfect for shooting in mostly sunny environments, for it’s 200ASA film. Not only did I want to capture my collection, buy I wanted to capture the details on the camera that most people would over look: hence the name “Unnoticed.” When people shoot with cameras in general, they don’t care about the look or the design of the camera when they use it. The main idea I had for this project was so I could get people to stop and take a look at a camera and admire its design, whether it’s ugly or a work of art. People don’t have the time to stop and take a moment to appreciate the camera that they use, I do it a lot. I’ve met people who have cameras, and they only see them as a utility overall. Anyway, it took roughly three weeks to edit all 12 images. Basically I removed any dust/dirt particles that had accumulated on the negatives in Photoshop. Then after cropping the images, I added the vignette layer on top of them. The vignette layer was sort of an afterthought addition. After about the third or fourth image, I felt they could use something more, so I added vignette to them. Overall that’s all I really have to say about the project. I really appreciate you for taking the time to check out my work. I’ll see you next time in my first 3rd quarter photo project! I am, however, going to leave you with a list of the 12 images and what camera was used in each of them.

Polaroid SX70 OneStep with Impossible PX70 NIGO film. L/D wheel = 1 notch dark. I only wish I bought more of this film.
And they were too!
Taken with a Polaroid OneStep Land Camera with genuine Polaroid film, expiration date unknown.
I was at Jack’s Camera Shop today looking through their old used Polaroid cameras, and while I was playing with the oldest, dingiest looking one there, a ratty Polaroid popped out. Apparently the store hadn’t noticed that there was an old pack of film still inside the camera. After buying the camera and a few others, I headed outside, where I took this picture on the old cartridge of film. Unfortunately the other exposures were blown so I couldn’t get any more pictures out of the cartridge, but I love how this expired photo turned out. From how old the SX-70 camera was and how beaten up it was, I would assume the film had to be at least over a decade old, if not much more.
Hooray for expired film!
