 Postbox

The five year old I-Type Black & White film I shot in the Polaroid I-2 had chemicals that didn’t spread evenly. In this photo, they worked perfectly, matching the line of the subject of the photo. That doesn’t happen often.

 Keep Point Pleasant Chill

I think it’ll take more than a bucket of Coors Light piss water to keep PP chill. Contax IIIa, Kodak Pro Image 100, ECN-2 development.

 If you’re going to be using an instant camera for the #ShittyCameraChallenge, don’t forget that Polaroid Week is also in October, the 22-27 on Flickr and, um, Instagram (I don’t post there any more, but it’s a thing there).

 Shed

Out back of the Officers' Club is this shack. It's in marginally better shape then the club itself. Contax III (pre-war), Kodak Pro Image 100, ECN-2 development.

 How the hell does someone LOSE a Ricoh GR III? I've turned the house and the car upside down and ... 
 @50ed0255 It has to be there somewhere. They don’t have legs. I recently misplaced my Polaroid 195. Took me six months to find it. I knew it was here, just not where here.

 Beach

Last shot from my first roll of Lomochrome Turquoise. I was really happy with how it turned out. I didn't know what to expect, although I figured including lots of sky and water would work well. I think it did. Contax IIIa, Lomography Lomochrome Turquoise, ECN-2 development.

 Map

When I think of shooting 40+ year old color film, I think of faded colors, color shifts, largely nasty. This Agfa CNS is a decided exception. This map was painted on the playground of a school we parked at in Frenchtown last weekend. Contaflex 126, Agfacolor CNS, ECN-2 development at  room temperature.

 @a3e2a07b @633a1add @2a744445 @7ec25196 Depends on which peel apart film you’re thinking of. Type 30 and Type 40 are indeed long gone and have been for decades. Type 80 as well. But there is a small manufacturer making Type 100 peel apart film, the kind that Fuji made until a few years ago. Supersense in Austria, owned by Doc Kaps (the guy who started The Impossible Project) makes One Instant peel apart film. It’s not cheap, but it does exist.

This tent on the beach in Asbury Park is the home a school on surfing. Hence the surfboards lined up. Contax IIIa, Lomochrome Turquoise, ECN-2.
