SX-70 Blues

Polaroid film is an artifact of recent history, so I’ve been hoarding a few precious packets of SX-70 film for… well, for what exactly?

Inspired by the New York Times display of Polaroid photos this weekend, I got out the SX-70 and discovered, to my chagrin, that the film has gone bad.

Moral: Use your film today.

On second look, though, the images are intriguing, what with the strange circles and blotches in the pictures, like this one, and a couple more I’ll attach.

Other moral: Enjoy whatever comes out of the camera.
