This picture of a guy looking at a magazine shows one of the main drawbacks of Polaroid photography. The discolored streak is probably the result of unevern or incomplete application of a stabilizing solution required to be put on the pictures with a little squeegee like applicator when the paper strip was pulled off the surface. This had to be done quickly, and it was easy to mess up.
Genitalia at repose. Nice.
ReplyDeleteYou know your old fashion Polaroid techniques. Nice.
ReplyDeleteGood photo too!
Nice, hair cut, chest, bush, penis, and lighting. Like the pose too.
ReplyDeleteIt is pleasant, despite the flaws.
DeleteI remember coating the B&W Polaroid prints. That little applicator had a smell similar to rhubarb -Dee Exx
ReplyDeleteIs that what rhubarb smells like? Who knew?!?! Dee, that's who.
DeleteI’d forgotten about that smell. Was quite unique.
DeleteI thought I was the only one left who remembered the fixative....
ReplyDeleteWell, you're the only one who knew what it was called, so that's something!
DeleteI shot film and Polaroids, for my nudes.
ReplyDelete35mm film.
But Polaroids in my Hasselblad back, and SX-70s.
One more item about Polaroids-the color ones needed to be warmer than 70F or so to develop properly, so you were supplied with a hinged aluminum Cold Clip that you inserted the developing picture into, and put in an inside pocket or under your arm to stay warm until the 60 seconds was up. I don't know if the SX70 film required that, but my dad's Model 100, the one with the horizontal bellows, did
