I finished this piece a few days ago. Very simple, but I like how it turned out. All distortion is from hand manipulating sx-70 polaroid film. This is one that looks much better printed than on-screen, unfortunately, but you can get a good idea. BTW, anyone heard from Mr. Fitz??
Thanks all,
Mel

Hi Fitz! Good to hear from you :) I now have a total of 8 pieces, with a couple more planned. I will be putting up a webpage very soon of everything...it's just about ready, but I need to add a few more pieces to it and 'tweak' a few things. I'll let you know when it's up :) Thanks again for all of the encouragement!

I don't know if it's optical illusion or just the way my eyes read it but---are there supposed to be faces in the swirls? I like this one (kinda partial to trees)

This is more of the stlye that you have that I REALLY apppreciate and I look forward to seeing your site..

I always enjoy seeing your polaroid manipulations. This morning I'm wonding if the image would flow if it was spun at a high speed after exposure. I don't have a polaroid camera so I can't try it right now?

Does this sound like something worth trying to you? How much time is available for manipulation?
