 polaroid sx-70 with "fade to black" film

this film is supposed to go entirely black after about 12 hours, and sometime before then you have to perform some surgery on the print, separating the front portion from the back, to stop development. The trick is figuring out when to do it.

After you separate the image, you let it dry - then you can do a number of things with it.

After the image dried, I washed the transparency part clean, dried that, then reattached the front and back together (the back part has a residual image, somewhat opaque, and you have to line everything back up again as best as you can) - but with this, I decided to place two sheets of pink tissue paper between them, to lend a different sort of overall coloring. I then taped the edges so it all held together, and photographed it.

You can also take the transparency side and place it on a lightbox and photograph it, which I did here:

The fade to black film! I saw that on the polapremium sight and am soo intrigued! But I would have to get an SX-70 first... What a concept! Reminds me of thread our old friend ubique started about a photograph at an art gallery that was slowly disappearing, by design. Very well done. and VERY cool!

What a process. Good for you! The results are nothing short of being completely personal and totally original. Really nice.
