The SX-70
Monday, May 26th, 2008I came across this really fascinating video about the SX-70 narrated by Ray Eames on mental_floss after reading about this extraordinary guy, Jamie Livingston, who took a Polariod photo every day for 18 years until he died. You can see the article about him and his work here. This video though was really interesting and answers a lot of questions about Polariod and the SX-70. Imagine “How It’s Made” of the 1970s.’
Enjoy.
I have the SX-70 SONAR Onestep

However, I don’t have any Time Zero or SX-70 Blend film- although I do have some 600 and 779, so I might mod it for that- however, I’m going to hold out a wee bit longer to see if I can get my hands on the original (or blend) stuff to experience the full effect.
Do any of you have interesting Polaroid stories? I’d love to hear ‘em and feel free to post a link to your Polaroid stuff in the comments!
