Description SX-70 and Time-Zero, expired in 2001

This has quickly become another of my very favorite Polaroids. I put the old mailbox for our house to good use since it's just laying on the ground on the side of the house. Add a small antique bottle that once held medicine or perfume or heaven only knows what, some evening sunlight, Time-Zero film, and a girl with a camera (who has no thought for composition or anything) and this is what results. I love it though.

Me too. I think I'll shoot more of the mailbox and the bottles, together, separately, whichever.

Doesn't it? I was like "last shot, last shot, what will I do with the last shot?" and I happened to wandering around the yard at the time and I saw the mailbox and well, the lightbulb came on.
Try Ebay except the prices can get outrageous. I have one more pack and then I'm out of TZ too. I already want more - lots more.

ahh, I love all those....I found some time zero) expired in 1999 on ebay...but I haven't got it yet...I'm very curious how the pictures will turn out

thank you oO, it hasn't arrived yet or you haven't won the auction yet? either way, awesome! check =vaporiss ' account for some older time-zero stuff. i think his last shots were from 1995? that should give some indication of how they'll turn out but of course, the rest is dependent on how the film was stored until it became yours.

I know his work quite well, genius!
yes definately..I'm sooo looking forward

well congrats on winning the auction!
i figured you did but he would have the best examples of older time-zero film.
me too! i can't wait to see what you'll do with it! i've got a second pack of time-zero from 1998 that i haven't shot yet. trying to decide if i'll go through the 779 from 2002 or one of the two 600 b/w's from 2003 that i have before i shoot the final time-zero pack i have.

I will look into his works again, it is such a pleasure
ahh, all those precious films....each photo will be a treasure....I'm learning to be careful with choosing the subject etc....very unlike with my digital camera (60 shots or more and you are keeping the best 4 or 5...)

cradlesongxx In reply to Birgit-Zartl-Photo [2008-12-30 21:46:46 +0000 UTC]

Always a pleasure!
I know! I'm trying to be careful too. But I don't even shoot my digital any more, at least not right now. It's all Polaroids, or the Diana, or my 35mm Canon EOS RebelX and even my Yashica MAT-EM camera that takes 120 film.

yes I can relate....I use my digital only for shooting photos of my paintings, cause they have to be very accurate....

cradlesongxx In reply to Birgit-Zartl-Photo [2009-01-03 11:33:26 +0000 UTC]

makes sense. digital to me just seems so... easy? to like delete and not care about what you're taking because you can delete it and do it over again. with polaroids, you can't delete them and so, they're more precious to you and you learn not to waste them.

Birgit-Zartl-Photo In reply to cradlesongxx [2009-01-03 17:09:11 +0000 UTC]

exactly...well, I like learning...there were times when I wanted to study photography but never did...taking a photo is more valuable with polaroids...additionally every photo exists only one time, like a painting...that's why I got finally hooked on shooting polaroid photos

cradlesongxx In reply to Birgit-Zartl-Photo [2009-01-05 04:30:39 +0000 UTC]

Learning can be nice. I'm taking some photography classes but they're not all that they're cracked up to be either. I agree with you on the "every photo exists only one time, like a painting" and like that aspect of the Polaroids, plus the whole instant thing and watching the image develop - you don't get that or the funky weird stuff in digital files.
