Polaroid SX-70’Äôs
THE POLAROID SX-70 PROCESS AND CAMERAS HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR OVER 30 YEARS. THESE IMAGES ARE NOT COMPUTER MANIPULATED; THEY ARE INSTAMATIC PICTURES AND THE FILM EMULSION CAN BE MANIPULATED WITH PENCILS, KEYS OR ANY OTHER OBJECT THAT CAN PUSH THE FILM EMULSION AROUND BEFORE IT HARDENS. AFTER THE DESIRED EFFECT HAS BEEN ACHIEVED THE IMAGE IS SCANNED. IT CAN THEN BE PRINTED ON TO ANY NUMBER OF MEDIUMS. I HAVE CHOSEN TO USE CANVAS WHICH I FEEL ENHANCES THE PAINTERLY EFFECT THAT
I PRE-VISUALIZE BEFORE THE IMAGE HAS BEEN MANIPULATED. THESE CANVAS PRINTS ARE ALSO KNOWN AS GCLAY PRINTS; THEY ARE VERY ARCHIVAL AND ARE OFTEN FRAMED WITHOUT GLASS BECAUSE OF IT’ÄôS ARCHIVAL PROPERTIES.
SINCE BUYING MY FIRST SX-70 CAMERA IN THE FALL OF ’Äò04 IT HAS DRAMATICALLY CHANGED THE WAY I SEE EVERYDAY SCENES AND ENRICHED MY PHOTOGRAPHY, TAKING IT IN A NEW DIRECTION WHILE I HAVE CONTINUED TO SHOOT MY OUTDOOR RECREATION AND SCENIC IMAGES WITH MORE TRADITION CAMERAS.
