An original advert for the SX-70 camera
This is a small selection of my Polaroid SX-70 (Time Zero) collection. I started taking Polaroids in the 70's. Polaroid ceased production of SX-70 film in 2006. You can still buy the film but it commands a hefty price, about $35 for a single pack. I'm down to my last few packs of film and I'll be sorry when it's gone.I've just started the task of scanning the collection and filing the originals, it's a very slow job. I've discovered that unlike digital files, Polaroids prints and film in general have soul.
As I sort through the prints handling them with great care, I'm taken back to the moment I took the photograph, the memory is as clear as crystal. I also remember my feelings at the time. This is a totally different experience to digital photographs. I have digital files going back to the late 90's but they don't have that something like Polaroids.
I have to get back to work, I have over 800 Polaroids left to scan and file.
