Cross-Processing Polaroid Instant Film.

[Erik The Viking]

I remember faintly reading about a commercial photographer cross-processing his Polaroids in Photo District News (Oct '99?) last year. The details escape me an d I am wondering whether any readers can fill me in one this technique or have t ried it themselves. If my faulty memory serves me, the photographer shot an 8x1 0 B&W Polaroid, peeled off its developing sheet, peeled off the developing sheet from a COLOUR 8X10 Polaroid and then used THIS sheet to develope the B&W Polaro id. Or was it the other way round? That is, shooting colour Pola, and developin g it in B&W Pola chemicals.

I remember seeing the most remarkable monochrome positives from this photographe r whose name escapes me.

Can any readers help?

I apologise to any reader who takes umbrage at my use of a non-existent e-mail address. Too much spam, and flames from the intolerant has rendered me quite cowardly.

I am sorry for the misspellings and bad sentence construction of my posting too.

Moderator, please feel free to snip this out.

Hi Erik,

Sorry this took so long to read, but using 809 neg and 803 positive will yield a sepia print. The art world has been doing this for a while. for further info contact polaroids customer care center at polaroidwork.com
