She was on the phone, but I wanted to play with the Polaroid. I got this 440 Land Camera to play around with some Fuji instant film, and the results so far have been kind of bad. That said, it still hasn't seen daylight or sunlight and I haven't even tried the focus flash cubes. I'm not even exactly sure how to use those, so I'll wait for the sun to come out to get some more clear pictures. For now, I just like seeing the pictures I take only a few minutes after I take them.

Mom: That was one of my favorite outfits. You looked adorable in it. Where's that face, Michael? You were so cute.

Another shot from my fav cemetery ever. Its not creepy, its uplifting and magical. It makes an impression and there is so much to explore. All hours of the day it gives a different feel. Spanish moss adds to the mystique. Polaroid 180, expired 669.
Mom: Oh, that's a cute picture. You used to like Grandpa. You didn't so much like Nanny to hold you.
The Christian Science Center in Boston. Taken with my first roll of expired Polaroid film: 108 expired 2/96 one of a double pack I got off of E-Bay and #585 UV filter.
Waiting for the beginning of the Arizona Ironman race along the Mill Avenue Bridge before sun-up. A few friends from Chicago came to participate in the race and we drove down to cheer them on.
Obturador Copal Press Nº1 para los objetivos Tominon.
Medidas del obturador:
Rosca frontal: M40x0.75
Rosca trasera: M36x0.75
Rosca de montaje en la placa porta-objetivo mediante un anillo de retención: M39x0.75 (No es la montura M39 x 26 tpi (= 0.977mm) o LTM de las Leica y muchos objetivos de ampliadora, es de otro paso de rosca).
Diámetro del agujero de la placa porta-objetivo: 41.6mm
Los obturadores Polaroid MP-4 se montan mediante una bayoneta especial de plástico en la cámara y desmontando esa pieza de la parte trasera es algo distinta a la de un obturador estándar, incluyendo el anillo de retención y un pequeño tornillo para que esa bayoneta de plástico no gire.
Copal Press #1 shutter for Tominon lenses.
Shutter measurements:
Front thread: M40x0.75
Back thread: M36x0.75
Mounting thread on the lens plate via retaining ring: M39x0.75 (Not the M39 x 26 tpi (= 0.977mm) LTM Leica mount of many enlarger lenses).
Lens holder plate hole diameter: 41.6mm
Polaroid MP-4 shutters are mounted using a special plastic bayonet on the camera body and removing that part is somewhat different from a standard shutter, including the retaining ring and a small bayonet anti-rotation screw.
Polaroid Super Shooter Plus, Polaroid type 108 color film (expired 1969).
So I recently got a great deal on a Polaroid 215 Land Camera with original case, flashgun, M3 flashbulbs, manual and all original papers. It also had an empty box of type 108 film. (The film was left on shot number six inside the camera). I also acquired a Super Shooter Plus camera, and with that I transfered the 108 film into the Super Shooter to see if anything would come out with it. (Transfered the pack into my Super Shooter because the 215 had a dead battery).
This was one of the shots that had the most color on the print, haha. It's crazy thinking about the amount of time that film must've spent just sitting in the camera...

(Wednesday, January 20, 2010) This is one of the many Volkswagen Beetles my dad has restored over the years. He had a lot of fun watching this exposure develop.
This is my Polaroid Land Camera model 95a and all its "accouterments".
What you see is a set of filters (yellow, orange, and a polarizer, the directions are still with the set!), a timer, a set of close up filters with their original case (complete with measuring tape to show you how close you can get), and its meter.
This camera took Polaroid Roll film, and produced wallet-size black and white images. Roll film is long, long gone, even more extinct than more current types of instant film. : )
So, for the last ten years, the $10 yard sale find has been a paper weight, a conversation piece, a cool old camera in my collection.
Then I moved to Portland.
I recently figured if anyone would know what to do with this beauty it would be Zeb (who I actually have not met yet). He emailed me a great idea, simple yet tedious. Take some 4x5 paper (which has an ISO of roughly 6) and expose one piece at a time, and change them in a changing bag, and develop them, and have paper "negatives" I could scan and invert in Photoshop. It would be a bit of a chore, and yet it would get the camera up and running again.
I liked the idea, but wasn't done yet. I knew there had to be a way to use this with a bit more ease. So after some more digging, I found the website I had been looking for.
By the end of the winter I should have a functioning (!) Polaroid Land camera roughly the age of my father. It will use 120 film and produce roughly a 6x10 negative, and I may eventually purchase a brass pinhole on eBay and put that in the lens, make this truly an experimental piece. It weighs less than my Mamiya, and is certainly smaller when its folded up.
Yes, it should be fun. Can't wait to get started! Whether or not he realizes it, Victor has been volunteered to drill the (fatal) hole in the body as he told me he has power tools. The other night at the flickr Christmas party after having the most-excellent book-turned-pinhole stolen (as I knew it would be!) I managed to score a package of five rolls of B+W 120 film. Which was promptly stolen by Bonnie. However, she later generously shared two rolls with me, and one of those rolls will be my sacrificial roll to get this up and running.
It's really a communal event to turn my old bookend into a functioning camera again. Who knew flickr could be so much fun?!
