So there was that totally crazy idea for a Set. Doing it with the bunch of expired instant films I had, before they'd turn too rotten to do anything with them. So. I don't know. It's totally not the kind of photos SG is used to maybe.
I got stuck by the fact that many pictures were too underexposed or too shitty to be used, so I chose the easy way mybe. Clean the borders, clean the dust, clean a bit the messy vignetting, but I obviously kept the uneven colors, the over saturation and the shitty bit that makes polaroid (and Holgaroid hohoho !
) so unique. It will be either totally creative or a total no-no. Oh we'll see.I don't care if it's rejected cause it's not the formatted type of pics exiged here. At least it would have been some hardcore bare boobs polaroid activism ! HELL YEAH ! 
so ? what else ? (Nespresso anyone ?)
I have "repaired" my land camera, cause the battery inside was the original one from the end of the 60', so you can imagine the state the battery container was in. Hey but I'm hardcore with chemicals ! So I cleaned all that mess up, and made new connectors attached to the original wires to adapt a moderm 3V lithium battery. And it's rad ! I think it's the beginning of a serious relationship ! Madame Holga got a bit jealous I guess, so I'm sewing her a new leopard print case and I'm taking her out this afternoon ... I SO need to send my films to develop too. I should join a photography club in Nantes and do it myself !
okay ! new resolution for '09 : do the chemistry myself !
and ... bonne anne everyone !
'09 seems cool right ?
