Desert Series

More images from the Impossible film desert series, which is really just a part of what will most likely become the largest series of images I will ever create, spanning many years and many different types of cameras and film.

I love the desert. I connected to it spiritually at a very young age and even though age and responsibility took me away from it for quite some time, I knew I'd return eventually.

PX600 v06 by The Impossible Project

This film behaves very much like the PZ600 for the Spectra cameras but seems a bit more stable to me.

PX70 Color Shade by The Impossible Project

All these images were shot using a 600 camera. This film is optimized for use in the SX-70 camera but I really like the results from the 600. Very unpredictable and that's what I like the most about it. They go from looking very saturated, like a Van Gogh colors, to very pastel, like Monet colors.

Polaroid Peel Apart Film

I have fallen in love with instant film. I know, I know. It's on its way out. But, that doesnt mean that I can't have fun while it lasts.

The following images were all shot using Polaroid 100 peel apart instant film in my Holgaroid camera. Its just one version of the special editions put out by the Impossible Project. This is the Paul Giambarba Sepia film. The ISO is 1500, which is the only Paul Giambarba peel apart film TIP sells that has this high ISO. At least from what I could find.

Really diggin' the Silver Shade

I think the biggest problem that I have with this film is myself. What I mean is, whenever I dont like a picture, its not because of the film but because of how I took the picture. But, when I get the composition, lighting and subject matter right all at once, I just can't anything else right now that can compete for my attention like the PZ 600 film from the Impossible Project can.

Here are my favs out of 20 exposures.

Blue and Chocolate Polaroid 100

Im really diggin' this film. Im not as big a fan of the blue as I am of the chocolate though. Anyway, here are more shots. Thanks for looking!

Impossible Project film scans

I love this film more than I can say. I hope these folks stay in business because I think I might literally die if this film gets discontinued.

There are actually two types of films in this post and only one image was actually shot on the Impossible Projects PZ 600 film. I cant see where it is because my blog image uploader no longer shows me images until I post the blog.

So, the two pix that are the most alike are Polaroid 100 film that I got from the Impossible folks. This particular film is the Chocolate Paul Giambarba Edition film. I have Blue and Sepia too.

The picture of the window, bench and vase is the PZ 600 film. At about 4.25 an image, I am planning my shots very carefully, which is really hard because I really want to go shoot the roll up!!!

Degi Joshua Trees

These are burnt and dead Joshua trees. They stink, like rotting garbage. Like a trash dump. I wasnt expecting that and it made me feel very sorry for them, but they sure do make for some interesting photographic subjects. In some of the shots you can see smoke from the Lancaster fires.

Degi Landscapes

A mix of landscape shots taken at different times in different places. None of the colors have been manipulated in PS, except for the green landscape image. I actually had to add purple to tone down the green.
