The Polaroid SX-70 process and cameras have been around for 40 years. These images are not computer manipulated; they are instamatic pictures and the film emulsion can be manipulated with pencils, keys or any ither 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 onto any number of mediums. I have chosen to print most of mine on canvas, which I feel enhances the painterly effect that I pre-visualize before the image is manipulated. These Canvas prints are also known as Giclee Prints; they are very archival and are often framed without glass because of its archival properties.
Since buying his first SX-70 camera in the fall of '04 it has dramatically changed the way he sees everyday scenes and enriched his photographic experiences, taking it in a new direction he has continued to shoot his outdoor recreation and scenic images with more traditional cameras.
