The wealth of toil.

A brief test run shot on the Lomo Kino I received for Christmas. Noise has been borrowed from Shane Constable. I recommend clicking through to youtube to see it at a larger scale. Unfortunately it has not compressed particularly well due to the foliage.

Some frames from a recent roll of film. These have been scanned from negatives with my newly acquired Conon CS9000F scanner which I am so far immensely pleased with. It should eventually mean a saving on my film processing costs and allow me more freedom with some other projects I have in the works.

My most recently completed tapestry. An experiment in finding the balance between the time spent making and the clarity and quality of the resultant work. Few images of interest to me work at this resolution, usually losing their link to realism and their atmosphere when reduced so dramatically.
A much larger tapestry is hovering near completion with only two square inches remaining unfinished. An order of yarn from the UK will be its savior, hopefully soon.

The gift of a classic Polaroid camera for Christmas has provided the impetuous for using more impossible project film. The high heat of the day seems to be the cause of the sepia tones. These images are developing towards a small series of photographs.

The first two shots are Impossible Project’s PX70 Colour Shade film and I don’t think I need to say why I would not buy it again. For reference the third shot is taken with expired Polaroid film in a different camera. I do wonder whether the camera may be the cause as the SX70 used has not been tested with any other film but I believe that is unlikely instead it is a dud batch of film. The photos are continuing to change and I’ll update with some later scans soon.
These were all taken at the Royal Melbourne Show.

A play with impossible project’s experimental film for polaroid cameras, these were taken with their PX 600 Silver Shade UV+ film. While I find the results pleasing the film is expensive especially as it is unpredictable and the photos themselves in a month have degraded terribly with the darks fading and the overall tone turning orange. I also tried their Px 70 Colour Shade film and achieved abysmal results which I may post in future along with a scan of a degraded silver shade shot. I will most likely buy this film again in future but only for a specific clearly defined project as the cost is prohibitive especially considering the chemical instability.
Note: the fourth and fifth images are by Shane Constable.
