impossibly Andrew Millar
« on: February 14, 2012, 08:53:25 PM »
Has anyone heard of this photographer?

I posted up an image of the morris minor on flickr and Andrew added me as a contact.

his impossible work is fantastically inspiring to me. he seems to be getting lovely moody, clear and colourful work from the impossible film, , , well compared to me anyway  ;D

check him out and hopefully you will enjoy>

Thanks for posting that link Aoluain. Having just acquired a Polaroid 2000, it's rekindled both my interest and a bit of my faith in the TiP films.

Chalky also put me onto the Px 600 silver shade uv+ film (I like the black border version for some reason) so I must get my mitts on some soon and see if I can fashion an ND filter somehow. Mind you, a few shots I've seen seem to be without the ND and with just the dial set to "dark". Any thoughts on this?

Cheers again. Paul.

Yeah, I met my almost similar namesake and had a chin wag with him in Brick Lane last year...

Cool dude and he sells his work also but here is not the place to discuss that obviously...

Wish I could get enthusiastic about FlickR again... Think I've dropped 5 shots in about a year...

L to the D... Last week or thereabouts IP were selling 600 film 5 packs under £50... Snaffed some for my SLR 680...

Wotcha Miller, how's tricks? Did you ever get your wheels back?

You jammy bugger - I'll have to check out the TiP site and see if there's any left for the rest of us  ;)

Best.....Paul.

I'd normally use a pack filter when using px600 in my sx-70.

but I forgot it the other day at a wedding so just shot 2 films with the dial all the way to dark and got some results I was really happy with.

the flilm is certainly improving...

good luck all :-)

If it's the first "first flush" stuff, I wouldn't waste your time or money. The pack I had was absolute garbage. However, if they've moved it on a bit (check out Chalky's work on Flickr - both mono and colour) then it might be worth the effort and expense.

some cool shots up in that stream :)

talking about 'roiders and moody, I've been following this guy for a while:

someone should totally buy him a pro account. I really liked his early experiments with expired polaroid 600.

Hey Jonas, if he can afford £20 for 8 shots of TiP film on a regular basis, he can afford £10 a year (or whatever it is) for a Flickr "Pro" account...... ;D

Yes thanks for the link - lovely work indeed.

I think the stuff I got was the first first flush

these were shoty on a dull evening with dial turned to fully dark.
