What I thought yesterday...

Polaroid of my brother Jim

Found this old polaroid while clearing out boxes in my apartment. It was taken around ten years ago, in a warehouse in Fitzroy where Jim and I were living. I must have come by a pack of colour pola film cheap, would have been shot on the Hasselblad 503cx I had then.

Polas weren't as immediate as digital is, however I think they were more exciting to use. There was some of the alchemical mystery that you get in the darkroom around the process. At the time the most significant downside was that unless you used the posneg film, they were not really able to be reproduced. Guess thats not really such a problem now.
