I believe there is no more creative medium than photography to recreate the living world of our time…Photography gladly accepts the challenge because it is at home in its element: namely, realism—real life—the now. - Berenice Abbott

For Polaroid lovers everywhere, my first endeavor after a 3 year hiatus of not using my SX-70 camera using TZ Artistic Polaroid film. I purchased the film at http://www.polarpremium.com which had a turn around time of two days (not long to wait seeing as I had waited 3 years to get this particular camera out).

The beauty of the SX-70, for me, is the ability to focus it, adding some depth of field to the final image. I hadn’t used TZ Artisitc before, so I wasn’t sure what the results would be. The film develops quite differently than the SX-70 film I was used to, but that, to me, just adds to the beauty and quality of the final image.

This image was composed soley with natural light coming through the window of my studio. Like any other new photographic product, you do have to experiment with it a bit to get the best results, but I was pleased with the overall tonal quality of the image to the left and look foward to more experiments with the film.
