...Strange day for Polaroid -8! 136 Remaining.

Well, the day started off strange and just kept going. Today Tiffany and I went to Chewacla again, although I didn't bike there this time. Anyway, we're having some fun and we want to take a few pics. Why not a Polaroid or two? I mean, after I'm through with the packs in the time-zero and the pro, The SX-70 will be taking up the rest of the slack, right?

Well, the first shot we took was a doozy...actually I should say the first TWO shots we took, since TWO photos came out. The first came out ok but it had some strange stuff at the top corners and a line that is probably a light leak at the bottom. The second, which came out underneath it, was all f-ed up as you can tell. Weird, and not too happy about it, since it was just a straight up waste. I put it down kind of freaked out, but maybe it wouldn't happen again.



Well we messed around some more and wanted to take some more photos. Well, I nervously pulled out the Polaroid. But then I thought about it, "better now when we can make up for it rather than later when I need a photo of something fast". Turned out to be a good decision. Same story. Two photos came out, one on top of the other. The top photo came out looking ok with minor faults. The second, obviously getting no light, was completely black.





Well, now just wanting to alleviate the problem, I just decided to to empty the pack because there might be some more screw ups...so I did. And, of course, they looked fine.



So, my Onestep Pro decided to play a few tricks on me. Grr... but ok. Its over and done with, and I kind of have some cool "shots" to show for it. But then I found out at dinner that my brother had just gotten my SX-70 in mail today!!!! Woohoo! right?

Well, I get it home and...well...just watch.







So not exactly what I'd hoped for. But, as far as the fungus goes, you can't tell on the actual print, as you can see in this terrible shot which, by the way, is the first "official" photo taken with the SX-70.



Also, some good news I guess. Apparently my scanner isn't as bad as the scans its been putting out lately. For some reason I imported the images straight from Photoshop tonight rather than just telling the scanner to do its own thing. Whadda ya know? These look 10x better than the ones I've already posted.

SO, be expecting much better quality scans in the near future. Hopefully the good scans will be of good photos, but that still remains to be seen.

With everything going on I'm not sure if this is going to pan out, but, assuming it does, here is the plan.

1. No more photos with the One600Pro
2. Finish pack in Onestep time-zero
3. Take all remaining photos with SX-70, assuming I can whip it into shape.
