Trial and error with Polaroids

It’s probably also worth putting a few somewhat failed attempts at SX-70 Polaroid Manipulation in this gallery. Not everything can turn out like Van Gogh! Here’s what happens when the manipulation’s initial exposure meant the photo came out way too dark, coupled with messing around with the emulsion when it was too wet (like about two minutes after I took it). Last of all, the actual subject matter wasn’t too hot, either. This is not a particularly arresting scene. It is not a total failure though so I thought I’d put it up here anyway. Check out the other more successful ones we’ve done :)
