After chatting to a friend from back 'ome in the midlands, I decided to scan in and upload my old 600 polaroid shots. Because I didn't have the money at the time for actual sx-70 film, I adapted 600 film which is no longer available at a reasonable price and I used two different filters with the film.

Anyway, I shot random things such as landscapes and flowers. Which is sooooooo not my usual style, however I like the results anyway. Here's some of my favorites. enJOY.

Just a little technical legal thing I'm supposed to do and apparently haven't been doing since the start of this blog.

A few months back I posed for my good friend and fellow student Emma Rose Flewers' for her exhibition piece at UEL. I only just got my hands on some of the pictures and I think you'll agree they're LAVVVELY. The girls got talent - stayed tuned for her website and more work including her new photography book.

enJOY.

Well the other evening I headed to Trannyshack with only my polaroid camera. Unfortunately I should have known myself better, as I had one too many Vodka's and accidently/stupidly opened up the back of my polaroid camera and exposed the last 4 polaroids. What a slap in my drunk face eh? So here's my six polaroids that I managed to take, also including a very well known TV presenter Mr Gok Wan, who is honestly one of the nicest people I've ever met.

I really dislike wasting Polaroids, and earlier on myself and Lady Tank had a bit of a situation on our hands. It basically involved myself turning the flash off, and Lady Tank's automatic sensor turning the flash back on, therefore I wasted 3 polaroids and nearly killed my ears and others around me by screaming. It was a real moment of drama.

Anyway, silver lining. They actually look kind of nice, beautiful in an abstract way maybe?

Now I know 1. It's incredibly sad to name a camera and 2. It's even worse if you start referring to it as a real person, for example 'Careful with Lady Tank!' and 'She doesn't like it when you hold her like that!' - Oh yes I've been there already, but I feel very close to her as a camera/person. Anyway enough of my con-flab, here's the first load of pics from Lady Tank herself, she's a big bitch and she's produced some big beauties, with the help of me of course. There's also a few out of focus polaroids, but I'm still getting used to the adjustable lens on her, anyway enjoy. They're pretty darn fabulous.
