Polaroid 20x24 NOT DEAD!

[Tracy Storer]

I have posted an announcement on my website, I'll post the same info here
We've got 20x24 materials for around a year based on current usage, and talks are progressing to arrange future supply. I don't know anything about other formats, 20x24 is relatively easy since it comes on rolls.

I am glad to hear that I myself am thinking about purchasing a 20x24 and use the polaroid film in my studio for rental and for personal use. It would be a nice edition to my business in the planning stages of opening end of 2008 or early 2009... It will be a great addition for people to be able to come in and not only use the camera but also see the huge camera in all its awe and might... I might come and see your studio in August Tracy... Keep me updated.... Ted

Tracy, a question that you might have an answer to. I remember a number of years ago that a 20X24 Polaroid camera was used to photograph the restored Michaelangelo painting on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. I think I remember this correctly and I believe that the whole ceiling was covered section by section using Polacolor emulsion. A couple of friends have asked me what became of the photographs and is it possible to view them - where ever they might be? I think there is some interest in doing some 20X24 Polaroid work before it is too late.

Tracy,

Hopefully, 20x24 film will be around for a very, very long time. One of the local galleries had a show based on these films and it was absolutely a joy to view the images!

Cheers
