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.

I like the fuzziness of the images, makes them look like they were taken a long time ago. I suppose if you scan them that will help keep the original image, though scanning them at different times to record the degradation of the images could be really interesting too.
