Description i can't think of a title that comes close to explaining what i feel about this polaroid. i hope i came close to capturing the color of the real pola... after the scan and subsequent color correction. the colors are just so... so 1970s vintage. the fact that the sx-70 picked up on the hair and not the eyes captures the spirit of the elements. i continue to be in awe of time-zero and the many ways in which in behaves under different lighting conditions. this portrait is like a distant memory to me. something i can't touch. the image of someone i never knew. a feeling of vintage time.

model:

I think her looks contribute to the feeling also. She has such a classic face and hair.

Very warm, but bittersweet, as both time-zero and the moment the picture was taken are no more. Your little caption, I must admit, left me with a bit of a lump in my throat. Truly timeless.

There is a quality of warmth, something natural and humane about the portrait which makes it rightfully timeless for the moment when you see it.

actually the tonal range is amazing, was it shot on a summer sunset? I ask because th taonal range is exactly equal to the one we have here on those conditions and it's awe struking me the quality of film
