The first series of my new ‘Bipeds’ project. I love the randomness of old, expired Polaroid film, with it’s weird and wonderful developer marks, scratches and emulsion defects. This series was shot on Polacolor 100 film which expired in 2004 (camera was a Hasselblad 500C/M). Many thanks to my good friend Dee for continuing to tolerate my experimental shoots (and experimental materials)!
Hasselblad Proxar Close Up Filter
I found a Proxar diopter tucked in a side pocket of a bag I got when I bought a used Hasseblad and thought I’d try it out on this Swiffer victim. Proxars are glass filters which you mount to the front of a lens to allow it to focus closer than with the lens alone. This is the 2m Proxar which I believe was designed to be used with a 250mm lens but here I tried it on the 80mm Planar.
