I gotta say, I love shooting with Polaroid cameras. While I’m not using Polaroid film for my peel-apart cameras, I still am using it for my integral film cameras. Integral film is what most people know, it zips out of the camera and starts to develop right before your eyes. Peel-apart is just that, you let it develop and then peel the finished image from the backing that contained the developing chemicals. For those I use Fuji FP-100c film and I must say it works great, such great colors. I was originally turned onto that type of film in college while making emulsion transfers from some slides that I had taken. It was so much fun I looked for a way I could do it without an expensive slide copying machine. Well that’s when I found peel apart film for things like the Holga and the older Polaroid cameras, as I couldn’t afford a Polaroid back for my EOS 3. So I was hooked, I saw things that just begged to be taken with this type of film. I’ve now acquired 2 cameras that shoot that type of film, a Polaroid 330 and a Color Pack II, of which I’ve had 2 because of some handling mishaps. Yup I dropped it on it’s corner and it shattered into little pieces. Thankfully they are cheap to replace, at the moment. So with that I just thought I’d post some of my more recent photos taken with either the Colorpack II or the 330.
