Analogue Returns....

23 March 2010

I never really gave much though to instant photography, I remember using a Polaroid of some description in the eighties as a child, other than that I hadn't had any real interest. (Now I know it was a Polaroid 1000, that used SX 70 film)

Then suddenly after browsing the internet - again looking for other avenues of photography to discover, came across the Impossible Project.

For me the awareness that the instant film made by Polaroid had ceased production was not something that I had been aware of, at this point the value of what this team of individuals was in the process of trying to do caught my attention. 

But you still had Fuji, making the FP series of instant film and the slightly lomoesque Instax series of films. 

But Polaroid? The inventors of the instant film? No longer manufacturing instant film? Edwin H. Land would not be impressed.

About me

I'm Stefan, a photographer based in Glasgow. This blog will showcase some of my work and document some of my photographic adventures. I've been interested in photography for many years and like to experiment with different techniques and effects. Starting out using traditional film photography then moving on to digital, I continue to use both. Currently I'm about to try 35mm through a medium format camera, to get those sprocket holes!
