equivoque photoIf you love a Polaroid photographer, love to look at Polas, or are a Polaroid photographer, please, sign the petition requesting that other manufacturers enter into negotiations to continue licensed manufacturing of Polaroid instant film types. An entire part of our culture and heritage of photography is about to be lost!

Congratulations for this wonderful photo!
It's exactly what I'm looking for at the moment and I would love to use it for an article on my blog.
Of course, only if you are agree with it. This is my blog and if I hear anything more from you, I hope that's okay with you.

Do you think that if Fuji starts producing Polaroids film, they will reproduce Time-Zero?

that's what i hope for, of course, but i don't know how likely that is to happen.

Would you push another petition if these first ones works for time-zero?

This image has a calm and very peaceful feeling, and it's captured in a great way!
Well done!

thanks. that's funny, because i am anything but calm and peaceful when i shoot time-zero. i had the great privilege of meeting one of my online friends in real life. she took a photo of my daughter and me, and while she was taking the photo, i could see that she was going through the same nerve racking experience that i go through each time i shoot. double and triple checking the focus, holding the breath, becoming uncomfortably warm from nerves... ha ha. i am never calm when i take these shots!

You're welcome!
I don't have it like that when I shoot, I just fire away and pick out the best from the lot... Or I just see the motive I want to take, and take it...

i only have 50 shots left of time-zero before it is all gone. each shot is so precious. it is going for close to 100 dollars per pack. with digital, i'm like you are. just fire away. quantity!

the color of this is sumptuous! And the sand is almost tangible.

thanks. i wish you could see the real print! the color here can't compare!

I know how difficult it is to duplicate on a scan and the electronic media can't replicate the look of polaroid in any real way. It's a tactile medium, in a way... I always want to touch a pola print.

i didn't quite get it right. it was a bit more cyan and a bit more vivid. however, adding the cyan or yellow, lost the whites. tough thing translating something so perfect as time-zero to a digital format! thanks.
