Polaroid
Today's images are all Polaroid photos said to have been from around 1970.
The lack of long haired men makes me doubt the dating, but the pictures are
worth a look. We start the show with a hairy fellow in the kitchen.
I'm always here for Polaroids. This is the best of the New Year's posts (so far), which are all quite good. Picking a favorite in this series makes me hard... I mean it's hard to pick a favorite from this series. Sorry, Jerry. Sometimes the ho does come out.
I remember my first Polaroid camera and everyone wanted to know if I had done any nudes, myself or anyone else at the time. What do you think! Lol. These are always fun to see.
Really enjoying this Polaroid series. Lots of working people and people who lived with family had shorter hair in 1970. Worth googling high school photos from that era. There was a lot of long hair (especially in our memories and movies) but also lots of short hair cuts like this one.
Looking through the series it seems they aren’t all from the same period. Even just comparing the different types of Polaroid films used makes them seem spread over more than A decade. Very nice collection of models and film types.
California countertop. Dark toned woods. Definitely late 60's-early 70's. -Polaroids meant 1:1 viewing. You take a pic, that's the only one. Film cameras had negatives and you could reprint unlimited. Film labs were out of the picture (sorry,) and the sexiness of the moment, allowed a more candid photo. The photog needs to clean the rollers, tho', as the series of white dots attest.

ReplyDeleteAny info on when this polaroid was scanned? as published, it has well preserved whites. Some colour photos didn't age so well.
ReplyDeleteI don't know when this was made. I do remember ads on TV about kits to preserve old Polaroids, so there might have been help later.

ReplyDeleteWhen I first got a Polaroid people were also always asking if I took any nudes and sex photos. I hadn’t but it made me want to.

ReplyDeleteTrue about the hair. There were even still some college students with short hair styles in 1970.

I remember a few photo processing shops that would make copies of Polaroids. I think it was the late 70s when they turned up.
