(SX No. 250)
CAMERA: Polaroid SX-70 Alpha 1 SE
FILM: Polaroid 600 (expired 8/2009)
DATE SHOT: 10/4/09
DATE DRAWN: 10/9/09

Another of the shots from the figurine booth in the Mons Street Market. This is the first Polaroid I've used markers to draw on. I really like the result and will work more on this technique. Even though this film just expired 2 months ago it is already showing signs of deterioration. I like the undeveloped spot at the top and the pink swath down the center, but I wonder how this bodes for the dozens of other packs I have with this expiration date?

This was left on 10/10/09 in the Museé d'Orsay in Paris. (ha - my first exhibition at the Orsay!) (SEE MY COMMENT BELOW)

DATE: 8/2/09
Architectural elements outside the Beaux Arts Mons gallery in Mons, Belgium. - These prints look completely black when they come out of the camera and develop very slowly into the low contrast image you see in the background. (I've got the camera set almost all the way to "lighten") Then about 30 minutes later these "bubbles" begin to appear and become harder over the hour or so. The slight orange shift you see is there indeed.

LEFT: This picture was left on 10/10/09 on the structural elements of a walkway on the 5th floor of the Museé d'Orsay in Paris.

PX No.62



PX No.62 (OC No.2)
CAMERA: Polaroid One-Step Close-Up
FILM: Polaroid 600

DATE: 5/20/08
LOCATION: Zeldas Cafe and Deli 1239 E.Kennedy Blvd, Tampa, Florida

Just my second shot with the One-Step Close-Up, It shows three orange, traffic cones against a wall just outside this great Caribbean restaurant between the outdoor seating area and the Gas Station next door. - Shot this while waiting for my lunch after a staff meeting at the Times' Tampa bureau.
LEFT: HERE by friend and fellow artist Tanya Antonio in January 2009 in London, England inside one of the capsules of The London Eye.

FOUND: in early 2009 By Nicky Brandon
"I found one of your polaroid's, No.62 in a capsule on the London Eye, I work for the London Eye and was doing a check of the capsule!
I don't know if you left it there or someone else did but I'm intrigued to find out! I found it under one of the benches they have in the capsules but again I could'nt tell you the number of the capsule i'm afraid, we do really quick checks on every capsule as it goes past so I literally grabbed it out of the capsule before it was loaded again! It nearly went in the bin, but then i looked at it properly and was curious, so i hung on to it! 
I found it quite a while ago and kept meaning to check it out, however time ran away with me and I forgot all about it, and it has been sitting in my room for a while now, I found it today and have finally got round to finding out what its all about!!!  I think its a really great idea, and have enjoyed reading your blogs about all the photos!
Glad to be a part of it!!"
