Indie short films are a fun way to hone one’s craft in #AudioDescription writing and narration. I’ve started working on describing Sam Elgart’s 2024 film #Polaroid and it’s been fun! #Polaroid2024
A brand new part of my work, the [Interface Project] will be unveiled next weekend at the Mai d’Arthonnay exhibit.
To celebrate this achievment, the release of the original unique artwork [Interface #1] is now for sale here : https://py.pl/92KCdnyX03B It is a Polaroid monochrome emulsion lift on painted plaster and cardboard.
Очень редкий зверь, #Polaroid x530 с сенсором #foveon. Кажется, единственная камера потребительского класса с foveon, которая умеет снимать видео. Жутко глючная, жутко тормозная и провалившаяся в продажах. Polaroid тогда вообще банкротился, я купил на распродаже складов с eBay. Тем не менее, нишевой продукт для ценителей.
Почему вспомнил? Пришёл новый аккумулятор, можно поиграться вдоволь
My first few post-flight test shots were inconclusive due to photographer error, but the ultimate verdict is: the film was fine! Both the partial pack that was in the camera and the spare pack. FWIW it was one of the newer style of scanner where you don't have to take electronics out, but not the futuristic-looking CT scanner. YMMV, of course.
The other #Polaroid lesson learned this week: I don't love the color frames for travel photography.
I'm flying with a Polaroid for the first time in years. I had everything ready to ask for my film to be hand-screened, but the security line was bonkers so I decided not to interrupt the flow. Now I get to be the latest participant in the great How Badly Do the Newer Scanners Mess Up Modern #Polaroid Film? experiment. Which I honestly don't mind sacrificing a pack of film to; it might look cool!
"That instant film could live on as both image and object...made it an ideal future archive. A message in a bottle. This was it, it said. This was the end for me."
There’s something magical about watching a picture develop right after you take it—like with a Polaroid. But recently, I tried an old Sony Mavica, and the moment I heard and felt the tiny whir of the floppy drive saving the image right after pressing the shutter… it was a whole other kind of magic.
