Weekend Work - Just One From Me...
« on: June 26, 2007, 03:20:06 PM »
... thanks for maintaining the energy while I was away Sean, the Polaroid stuff you posted from the desert was great. We have to learn how to expire film before its time...

The brief was `Photograph Production`, so I went to a small photographer's studio outside Ueno, in the old part of Tokyo. I had asked the famous Japanese photographer Kurosawa-san if I could use his studio and himself, and he kindly agreed to pose.

What did you shoot?

A semi-retired neighborhood photographer who says he still makes a good living shooting class portraits.
(Polaroid 600 SE with Type-665.)

My output was minimal and dull at best. Tried to use a pack of expired 668 film, from the 1980s, I think. Was a bust. The only shot that has an identifiable image was my living room, exposed for 10 seconds with the 195. Also took one shot of some pretty clouds (I think the monsoon is slowly working it's way in) to check out my new Fuji 100B (got 10 packs for cheap on ebay). Blogged about Polaroid packaging and some of the booklets and stuff. Quiet for me mostly. Next week I'm going up north and also going to check out some of the northwest part of the state where I've never been. Got 6 packs of expired 600 coming to try out.
Another nice portrait, mark. wish i could do more of that here. population density is only high in cars and malls here, though. And people don't much like having pictures taken, unless it's at an outdoor event with lots of other people around.
Speaking of 600, I read all about converting sx-70 to 600, but it's always the flip-open cameras. anyone every modify a good old rainbow striped OneStep?

Not the weekend (no time), but during the week I have mostly been photographing sweets. Great fun but not very good for my teeth...

Re converting SX70's to take 600 as far as im aware its just an ND filter over the electric eye, so would work for the one step also....i think

Here's what I shot last Sunday. 'Back to the 50's" car show at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds. 11,000 cars provided plenty of opportunity. Unfortunately by the time I had gone through 8 rolls it was time to go. But quality is better than quantity, right?!
