May 3rd: 2PM: Ephemeral Exposures - Instant Imagery
The Game of Light. Equations and Estimations. Exploring beyond
reciprocity laws of light intensity and exposure time, we will
construct a variation of "kamera lucidas" based on simple photographic
mechanisms and optical phenomena. Starting off with instant
photographic materials for immediate results, any other kinds of
photosensitive material are welcome.
Kamera Backs for Instant Films (Custom Polaroid backs from former
Polaroid Land Kameras and also 6x6 medium format kamera backs) and some
Instant Films will be provided. Participants are very much encouraged to
bring their own polaroid backs and films (see details below) as
materials are limited.
Participants may also bring along anything they wish their kamera body
to be constructed from.
Film details: Fuji Instant Color Film FP 100 c Professional, Polaroid
665, 667, 669, 689, 690 Polaroid Studio twin Pack or any Polaroid that
has the Format 3 1/4 x 4 1/4 inch.
Please note: These are NOT standard instant Polaroid films like the
Polaroid 600.
