My love in her red dress at our temporary humble abode in Kilfenora, County Clare, Ireland, shot on SX-70 FadeToBlack film.  The chemistry on the film began to fade after only a few fleeting moments, but I pray my love and memories never will.

      A stunningly beautiful set of polaroids. Nice work. Did they keep fading out, or is this as far as they went? We’ve shot some silvershade that is basically disappearing film in the right (or wrong) conditions.

      the one where she’s crouching deserves to be scanned and blown up … like , say , 6 feet x 6 feet.

      Thanks boys. Yea, they kept fading all the way to black. I liked the idea of the fleeting moment polaroid before it was time for it to actually disappear. Annoyingly I had just been shooting stop motion on ‘small’ raw to save memory, and forgot to change it before I photographed them. So they’ll never be much larger than an 8″x8″ print probably. Oh well.
