I've been doing some experimentation with Impossible Project's new "Silver Shade" PX 100 instant film for the SX-70 Polaroid camera. I am a cheerleader and supporter of the Project, as they are doing the crazy, journeyman's work of restoring a source of instant film for the classic Polaroid cameras that continue to have a huge fan base, but which Polaroid stupidly abandoned a few years ago. I am a supporter of the Project and its goals with high hopes for the future. And I have to be hopeful, unfortunately, because the present leaves a little bit to be desired.

"Gotham"
(September 2010, SX-70, Impossible Project PX 100 film) |
I will write more about this later, but will just say for now that the Project really is a labor of love . . . and the the use of these early films requires quite a bit of love, patience (and forgiveness) from the photographer as well.
