Original 35mm photography by Alan Gilchrist
Polaroid print by Chris Osborne

My friend Alan recently let me raid his collection of old slide to make some Polaroid prints using my Vivitar Instant Slide Printer. These shots were shot in Greece in 1980. This Polaroid image transfer print was made using long expired Polaroid 100 Blue film on Canson Montval Cold Pressed paper.

Aberdour Castle (Fife, Scotland) shot using Impossible PX70 Brusch Bag shot in a Polaroid SX-70 (original model).

A while back Impossible sold some film that had failed their normal quality control in sold call ‘Brusch Bags’. The film was very cheap (10 packs for £50 is memory serves me correctly) so I though I’d give it a try . It was extremely disappointing. It didn’t just have flaws, it was almost completely unusable, with much of it getting jammed in the camera. What was worse, most of it was completely unlabelled, so I had no idea what camera to use it in.

But despite all that, some of the shots had a certain… err… charm(!). note that these shots have since faded to almost nothing.
