polaroid tests



about 6 yrs ago i bought a polaroid land camera.
it was $4 dollars at the thrift store, and i thought, purely nice to look at, most likely not working, and impossible to find film for.
fast forward to my birthday this year, at Weegee's, when a guy took my photo with one of these cameras. this started me looking for the film. leftover stock from polaroid, and alternative films.
at the impossible project i bought old stock, in color and chocolate.
and i found that fuji still makes type 100 film, color and B&W.
so I started testing my camera.
once i figured out that the battery was dead, i stopped getting black pictures.
then i started playing with light levels.
conclusion: photos inside, don't work so well.
