This year I'm using a different film format each month, starting with the smallest and working my way up through the sizes. The format for November is Polaroid SX-70, which has a slightly larger image area than last month's 6x9cm 120 format.
This was taken with a Polaroid 1000 camera (known as Polaroid Onestep in the US), it uses SX-70 film, which is once more available, having been revived by The Impossible Project a few years ago.

Renovated a Polaroid SX-70 Land Camera with a new covering.
One of my senior classmates passed away today. Even though we weren't close, his warmth and good humour was very apparent the first time we met, and his smile, contagious. Stephen hope you're resting well; you will be missed dearly.

This former pub stands on the corner of Chelson St. and Normacot Rd. in front of the Enson Pottery Works, Longton. The first record of the building is from the 1856 OS Map of the area. Seventy years ago Normacot Rd. was at the heart of the pottery industry of Longton. When interviewed in 2008 local resident seventy five year old Les Lockett who was born and lived in the area all his life, said “The population was far greater and people lived where they worked. When I was a boy there were 72 pubs from Normacot Road to Longton town centre”, a distance of less than a mile! By the 1950's the pottery industry was in decline and this tightly knit community was rapidly disappearing. The majority of the half dozen or so potteries within a two hundred yard radius of The American and row upon row of C19th terraced houses for the workers were bulldozed. Somehow the pub escaped the slum clearance but the landlord had pulled his last pint by 1958 and it stood empty and derelict for forty years until 1999 when the The American, together with the Grade II listed Enson Pottery Works behind, were purchased by Stoke City Council. Ten years later a painstaking brick-by-brick demolition was undertaken and by 2013 The America Hotel had been completely rebuilt in its original form (apart from the sign which seems to have run out of space for the final 'N'!) and incorporated with the Enson potbank as part of the CoRE (Centre of Refurbishment Excellence) educational and heritage centre.

This was a disturbingly long exposure. I thought the maximum exposure time for the SX70 was 10 seconds. When the mirror didn't flap down after I counted to 15 I was slightly worried that I had bust the camera somehow. However, it did return shortly after and out spat this. I then went to bed, so didn't see this until first thing this morning.

(Okay, just got to work and can add in the real text. Real text! Um...out of the three double exposures I took for Polanoid's Gender Confusion contest, this was my favorite but everyone who I showed it to's least favorite. Hmmm.)

Reading a photograph is something that is dying, our viewing has become as disposable as modern life itself. Do we need to make the image more obvious or can we continue to try and draw in the viewer and hold them for longer to see what the artist sees? - Mark Daniel

The Taihaku 'Great White Cherry' was once highly prized in Japan and found throughout Honshu the main island but had become extinct during the Edo Period 1600-1868. Astonishingly a single tree was found in East Sussex in 1899. The botanist Collingwood 'Cherry' Ingram who discovered the Great White Cherry as he named it, propogated cuttings and planted the variety extensively on his estate at the Grange, Benenden, Kent. Following a visit to Japan in 1926 during which he formed lifelong friendships with fellow sakura (cherry) enthusiasts and experts, Ingram sent numerous scions to Japan where today the Taihaku is well established. Below is an extract from his journal of 14th. April 1929 -
' (On my 1926 visit to Japan) Mr Funatsu brought me out one or two old pictures of cherries amongst which was one by his great grandfather painted about 120 years ago. This kakemono depicted very accurately, if somewhat crudely, the large-flowered single cherry I found at the Freeman’s Greyfriars Estate, Winchelsea which I have named Taihaku 'Great White Cherry'. Apparently its correct name is 桜 暁Sakura Akatsuki, meaning “daybreak” or “dawn”. The fine shape of the flowers and its pure whiteness contrasting with the pale golden bronze young foliage are clearly depicted. The diameter of the flowers – about 6cm if my memory does not fail – is also about right in the painting.
Mr Funatsu said he had been searching in vain for this Akatsuki variety! It is a curious thing that it should be found again in a remote Sussex Garden'.
