This was shot on Polaroid 125i Passport film. I was surprise of the colour saturation, it reminds me of fuji film. Shot at the Parnell Railway Station.
Mind the Gap

Shot on 779 Poloroid film (integral film) at the old Parnell Rail Station – on of the few (in fact I don’t know of any other in Auckland) abandoned places in Auckland. The ‘fairly lights’ are from the rollers when the film is expelled from the camera. The film is expired as well.

This one is a tribute to one of my favourite artists – the ever whimiscal michael sowa. This wa shot on fp-100c at Mills Bay in New Zealand. Shot on FP-100c. The colours with Fuji fp-100c are really saturated. I really like the film. Polaroid film tends to be a bit desaturated but has more of an artistic feel.

This shot was taken on new years day, at symonds street cemetary. I wanted to get an idea how instant photography capture motion shots. This is shot on UV-ID film (I really like this film). This is pack film – you have to be a bit careful scanning it at times because the the polaroid watermark can bleed through.
On a Roll

Hello all first post on my blog here. I am using this blog to show my instant photography photos. I’ve started shooting polaroid and instant photography in october 0f 2008 after shooting digital for nearly 7 years. I love both formats (analogue instant and digital) but this blog will be for showing my instant work. Some of these photos my have been digitally edited – if you are interested what was done, just ask. I not either I digital zealot or film zealot, I am format neutral. Instead, I look to create a fusion of both 🙂
I am also based in New Zealand, so this is where most of the subject matter will take place. Incidently, ‘Parahanga’ is Maori for ‘junk’, ‘litter’ or ‘stuff’ – which I think is a fitter description of my work. I’ll have an authentic website something in later in the year (or maybe 2010, 2011 etc) but this is a pretty good place to get started. Leave comments.
Incidently – if you want to see my polanoid account the direct url is here: parahanga polanoid.
Below was taken near Manukau Heads, near Awhitu Penisula. Its one of the first shots I’ve taken using instant medium, shot with Fuji fp-100c silk (its a peel apart film) using my Polaroid 104 camera.
