Boston Monument Series

I was recently given a full box of Polaroid T-55 in exchange for an 11x14 silver print of an image I made with the gifted film. I took this an an opportunity to explore a series I have been meaning to get to for some time now. This image is from my first outing this past week.  

Thank you to Erik Simkins, 
who contacted me out of the blue to give me his last box of Polaroid T-55.  
I am so appreciative because this particular film is no longer made, and even though The Impossible Project has brough back certain Polaroid films, as far as I know the large format and positive/negative films will not be brought back.

  2. Hey Adam,
    That is an excessive amount of bleach (potassium ferricyanide) followed by an excessive amount of high strength Selenium. I will try to repeat it to see if I can be consistent with it.
