"Oh little body, do not die"

It's a sad day for me...Sunday just gone I woke up early (couldn't sleep) to a beautiful sunrise. As is my habit I reached for my polaroid camera, pressed the shutter and...kaput. My beloved SX70 is now dead. It could be in a temporary coma, but I prefer not to apply the balm of false hope.

All this in the week that a package of rare polaroid film arrived from Austria. Fate is taunting me.

The last time I saw Paris

«Taxi!»

Well, the shots from Paris have been processed for some time now - either hanging up in my bathroom (several rolls of black & white: tri-x and acros100) or back from their trip to the lab. Now begins the long slog of dusting, mounting, scanning and spotting said negatives and slides...but I'm being lazy. So far I've only managed to upload one and a half rolls of colour from our trip. That leaves 25 and a half rolls left to upload!

This is 2008...surely we sould have robots to do this sort of thing for us by now?
