Sometimes expired film screw-ups just seem to work.

Here’s something a bit different for a change, eclectic subject matter, as seems to be my wont – I refuse to have my photography pigeon-holed!
This is a vertical dyptych of two Polaroid 500 shots, taken on a Polaroid ‘Vision’ camera (also sold as the Captiva), another folding SLR job from Mr Land’s stables before they went kaflooey. The film is colour film, but almost looks monochrome/sepia here due to it being a tad old (like me).
I still have a pack of 500 integral film (expired of course) left which I better put through the camera before the chemical pods in the film dry out (if they haven’t already)…oh well, not much more to say at the moment. Work is work, not too bad I suppose, but I really do hang out for my time off so I can make more photographs. Cheers all!

If I seem a bit distracted this month, in no small part it is due to this gentleman. Let me explain, this is Jeff Moorfoot, one of the primary driving forces behind the Ballarat International Foto Biennale. Jeff is the festival director and with the help of the committee, volunteers and participating artists from Australia and overseas has put together the 3rd Foto Biennale held in country Victoria, the first two being held in Daylesford in 2005 and 2007. I’ve been looking forward to this years event for oh, 2 years now, ever since the last one! The Ballarat International Foto Biennale is about to kick off (tonight in fact) and anyone who is even vaguely interested in Photography would find more than enough to entertain and enlighten them in the month of September in the beautiful country Victorian town of Ballarat and it’s surroundings. Comprising 20 Core exhibitions, 60 Fringe shows, workshops, seminars, portfolio reviews, affiliate events, artist floor talks, camera market, special events…and much more it should be a fantastic start to Spring!
This Polaroid was taken outside the Daylesford Town Hall during the 2007 Biennale.
