as film formats come & go new ways of enjoying their charms emerge....from looking back at vibrant colours that speak of an unreal reality to a lingering wish for

the variety of frame shapes & sizes of the polaroid / the instamatic / the half frame etc etc....

the use of expired film is being explored by a growing number of photographers & can be discovered on dedicated flickr groups & websites....go take a look....

there is a real sense of playful creativity in loading a film that has long since lost its ability to guarentee a consistent or ‘correct’ result....the images that emerge are often

fascinating, interesting & inspiring....

here, take a look....go buy some old film (the cheaper the better) & have fun....

6 polaroids

by Gerhard Bandiola

This set of photos were taken with an Argus 75 620 Format Box Camera. I respooled an old Kodakolor-X asa 80 120 Format Colored Negative Film (expired

January 1968) C-22 chemical developing onto a 620 spool. Then processed in C-41 chemical in the lab and scanned into a cd.

Film used for all 10 images: EFKE KB21, B & W, Expired, 1977.  33 years old. There is no history how this film was ever kept. I used ISO 60 to 100 and

never had any better use. I took the film to the lab, they developed and then I scanned. All the images seem to have come out quite grainy and hard to process on

my end so I kept it simple.

. Gilmore Gas. Old Newspapers

(both taken at the Original Farmer's Market in Los Angeles, California.). Capitol Records

. Vacancy (highway 395, California). A place to be (on highway 395, California)

. Small town, small church(further north in the eastern sierras small towns come and go. attached is a really

small church in a really small town). How about a pop (on highway 395, California)

. Lincoln. Looking for my other half

. Pipe art

cars....some of my favorite subjects to photograph.There is a place out in the California desert that is known as the "Hub Capital of

the World". This was a famous place a few decades ago with even a dirt race track. Many of the cars are junk but pieces are still good to be used for any rebuilding of

the classics. It is an amazing place.

I'm Lydia, a young camera enthusiast, obsessed with old cameras and film techniques. Expired film gives results that are dreamy, saturated, and always surprising, that's what I

love about it. Its unpredictable in the best possible way, always giving a result that's haunting and unusual.

In 2009, I reintroduced myself to film photography for the first time in 25 years via toy cameras, Polaroids and expired film.

I am attracted to toy cameras because the lack of control and accuracy forces me to focus on choosing interesting yet unlikely subjects, carefully composing images, and using color and shape to create interest. Digital provides instant

feedback and unlimited chances to retake photos, but with film that opportunity is not there. This makes me slow down and think, be more deliberate about my

photos and anxiously await to see what develops. I also prefer the unpredictability and surprise that is inherent in expired film and outdated and obsolete film

formats. Even when using a more precise camera, loading it with expired film often brings an element of surprise and unexpected charm.

I've focused quite a bit of my attention on Polaroid films this year, since the worldwide stock of these discontinued films is rapidly dwindling. I'll shoot as much

of it as I can while it is still available.
