Polaroid, we love you.

Many years ago friend John gave me a Polaroid Automatic 100. Resigned to the unavailability of a battery for it I placed it on my Polaroid camera shelf to collect dust and look good.
Then the other day I read on the world wide internet that you can use a bog standard 9v battery to power the shutter, so I tried it and it worked! I have since ordered a few packs of fuji pull apart polaroid and will be posting shots from it as soon as the film arrives.

I won't launch into a rant about how badly I miss polaroid and their fine products, I will however be first in line to buy a box of Type 55 if the impossible project ever manufacture it.

Also as a side note I am looking for more participants in my five by four project. If you would like me to take your portrait and I can get to you feel free to send me an email via my website.

New Project - Five by Four.

I have just begun working on a new project titled Five by Four. 

For the next three months I will be travelling around photographing as many people as I can using a large format camera and only shooting in available light. All images will be hand printed to the same size as the original negative and exhibited at an unconfirmed venue.

If you would like to be included in this project please feel free to send me an email via my website: www.welcometothedarkslide.co.uk
