Instant gratification

In theory, anyway. I certainly couldn't have been the only person to fall in love with Hipstamatic, only find myself longing for an old Polaroid camera after the novelty wore off.

After doing some research and finding the Impossible Project, it didn't seem like such a bad idea. I started looking for old PX-70 cameras for sale. And after accumulating a small stockpile of them, I finally found one that worked.

After experimenting with different types of exposures (is it appropriate to call it film?), I found what I wanted in Polaroid's Artistic TZ. Although no longer manufactured, and long past the expiration date, I've been able find enough for sale to create a series.

Initial prints were displayed at the 2010 Cedars Open Studios tour.
