IMPOSSIBLE Camden Market Portraits



When was the last time you visited Camden Market?
I hadnt been there for years. Georgia and I met up with some other Polaroid shooters and spent a great day in this vibrant, busy area - full of market stalls, food stalls, old records, books, antiques - you name it its there. Plus you can wander anlong the canal.
I took the Polaroid SX70 Folding SLR and the SLR690 folding SLR with me and of course these wiers old cameras cause quite a stir. Its much easier to approach these people when you have an unusual talking point to shoot with rather than the common camera phone.
This latst film from THE IMPOSSIBLE PROJECT does not need shielding from the light and is a major development in the re engineering of instant film.

Provincetown Harbour

We had gotten up early to drive the 6a to Provincetown to go whale watching.
These are the cute huts that line up along the harbour, some are selling paintings, some tickets for the boats.

Route 6a Cape Cod

Route 6a takes you along the length of Cape Cod to Provincetown, the Gay Capital of the USA and a great base for whale watching.
On the way we stopped at a small craft store so Julie could buy Pandora stuff, I went outside and was immediately drawn to the US flag and the thick electricity lines, I had Polaroid Polacolor 108 expired film loaded in my 250 Land Camera.

Freedom Tower

We'd gotten off the bus at World Trade Centre stop. Already had our entry passes to the 9/11 Memorial so we walked on and were confronted by the looming spectacle of the nearly completed Freedom Tower. Tha stars and stripes were fluttering from a nearby building.
A jet airliner flew past and that was such a strange moment.

Polaroid Fenland Project



An on going project to document the Fenland area around Warboys using mainly instant film, in this case Fuji 3000B pack film in my Polaroid 103 Automatic Land camera.
This film has a box speed of 3000 ISO and is VERY sensitive to the smallest light leaks in these old cameras. This 103 is one of my better pack cameras and leaks are generally few and far betweem.
With this project I am trying to record the essence of the fens, straight roads (droves), drainage ditches and wonky electricity poles feature heavily.
