I was out exploring old places. Polaroid 680SLR, with Type-600 film. More here: Filmwasters November Grabs.

How did your weekend start so quick? Gosh its only noon in Japan and you already have your shots taken, scanned and posted!! I need an that kind of energy! The look of those images are really great.

Finally, here is what I did this weekend. Moving into winter here.

Enthusiasm = three day weekend. Started on Friday. Another one next week too. What a shame.

Yeah, give us a chance, Skj. I've just woken up on Saturday morning and now I feel like the weekend's over already.

I love the look of these new Polas BTW. Great to see you handling the jump from those amazing 665 snaps you've been doing into some seriously powerful colour. Much better in my opinion than the more washed out colour you've produced in the past. Same eye and all, but I think the stronger colours suit you...or at least suit these subjects.

But back to your question; I'm not in the 'shooting' game at the moment, but I am slowly working my way through a fairly huge backlog of negs from March onwards. Trying to fit in an hour of scanning and post work in 5 minute chunks over the course of most evenings. Here's the latest finished scan hot off the production line.

Not this weekend but 2 weekends ago I was in London with my Lomo and XP2 film...
first time in London. What a great place.

Here's a shot in the meat packers district...

Ken, it would have been great to meet up with you during your trip to London; maybe next time? I hope you enjoyed your stay.

Ken, nice work! I can feel the dank moisture in the air... Nice to see you here. Skj.

Thanks! Still feeling my way through the process. But, it is almost as much fun as Type-665. More work though! I like the washed out stuff too, but getting consistent expired film results is patchy... Like your March scan too. Get out there and shoot! Take a camera to work. Anything. Your tea lady, the train man... The server room (maybe not).

I am not sure how you are able to come up with this final product using the insides of the 600 film..??..and I think I've scratched a hole in my head the size of a quarter trying to figure it out. I'm not going to do that any more and just look at these in splendor. The quality of work you are doing with these lately is by far your best. Your grabs gallery looks superb.

From what I remember, it involved cutting open the film with an exacto knife...

Francois, yes yes...of course...and I've done that before with 600 film, etc., and they looked no were near as brilliant as Mark's. I think he is doing some kind of voodoo or something. The hole is now crater size.

Oh...shot some pinholes with the Diana+. I'm hooked...

Great work Skorj.....loved the grabs...need to shoot more polaroid before the wife throws the damn cameras out! Didn't shoot much and if I did then no way I could turn it around...(OK Polaroid!) Damn, need a brain any how...did get a roll back on Friday taken during World Toy Camera Day...I need to share more so here she is in all her glory!

Damion, Maddy was on here twice so I deleted one of them. Hope that's OK?

Like the shot. I assume this was the 600? Good to see that Maddy's not afraid of Uncle Damion even when he has a camera the size of a small telly pointed at her.

This-is-damion · « **Reply #16 on:** November 19, 2007, 05:39:32 PM »

no worries at all, i was on phone at same time, then it logged me out, system blip i think they call it (or operator error...cough)

yeah, the camera is both larger than than your average telly and heavier than your average 2 yr old!

formica · « **Reply #17 on:** November 21, 2007, 04:35:37 AM »

it's been a silly couple of weekends. two shots from last weekend(that weren't developed until last weekend). can you guess which is me? xpro agfa ct precisa in the lc-a. then a polaroid(taken with the sx-70 using 600 film) of my new toy monkey i picked up on saturday. like cameras, you can never have too many toy monkeys.

Paul, pumpkin moments are indeed hard to resist. Nice!

William, I'm guessing you're in the 2nd shot?
