Using
an old Polaroid
SX-70 camera, impressionistic
images were created by manipulating
the instant film's pliable emulsion.
After
warming the print, I use a variety
of blunt tools to carefully move
the emulsion until I create the
desired effect. It's tedious but
when it works, I love the look
and feel of these images.
I
began using this technique in
1991 after seeing photos done
by my friend and fellow photographer,
Glenn
Matsumura.
