What a marvelous film Polaroid Type 55 was. You shot, peeled off the negative and carried it around all day in an 18% Sodium-Sulfite solution. When you returned to the darkroom you would clear with Kodak Hypo-Clear, dry and print using an enlarger. One could also contact print if need be. Polaroid Type 55 gave a great look to the edge of the frame...always different from frame to frame.
I think I read somewhere that a group is trying to produce a new version of Type 55....Let's hope they succeed.
Thanks to my friend Lori in Chicago for today's quote.
Gotta to love this!!!

ReplyDeleteSo funny...I've been wanting to take shots of my 3 year old romping in white sheets for quite some time now, shots that I would convert in Silver Efex, and I woke up this morning thinking "today's the day!" (dunno why). Then I looked at your blog and see this. Now I'm double motivated!!! Thx Harry, big hugs!
