Polaroid Portraits

[Axle]

This past weekend, I helped run and participated in the Film Photography Project's Walking Workshop in lovely downtown Findlay, OH. One of the events was a POlaroid Party hosted by Professor Jeff of the University of Findlay's Photography Program. The idea was to promote instant photography. I decided to try something different and got a studio strobe, a diffused beauty dish and setup an impromtu studio in the main hall of the Garner Arts Pavilion. Taking a PC Sync cord I plugged it into my trusty Polaroid Model 250 Automatic Land Camera.



I had brought along a couple packs of Fresh (2009) Cold Expired Polaroid Film (the original stuff) a pack of 664 (ISO-100, B&W) and a pack of 690 (ISO-100, Colour), and started taking portraits of the people in attendance and got a lot of really nice results!

Thank you!

Wait a minute. How did you do this? Where did you get the film?

The 664 I bought through the Impossible Project when they were selling out the old stock from the warehouse. The 690 I picked up from a camera shop in NYC a couple year back, I keep 'em in my beer & film fridge. I also keep three packs of the Polaroid Chocolate film in there also.

Yes, Fuji produces two flavours of Type-100 pack film, FP-100c which is Colour and FP-3000b which is Black & White. Lovely stuff.
