  • The Five Rise Locks, Bingley, Yorkshire

    I nearly dropped my camera into the canal and the result being I somehow managed to scratch up this Polaroid snap. Which is annoying, but I like the lightning effect it created, plus the scratches and the expired nature of the film makes it look even more vintage. The five rise locks of the Liverpool-Leeds…

  • St Paul’s Cathedral – Expired Polaroid Film

    Despite the smudges this could be one of my favourite polaroids I have ever taken…

  • Brighton Pier – Expired Polaroid Film

    I went to Brighton with my dad last week as a birthday day trip. I had never been before, and on a sunny day it was great to soak up the atmosphere that possesses the vibrant edginess of London, but combined with the relaxing feeling of being by the sea.

  • The Novo Cemetery – expired Polaroid film

    Some universities boast a stunning lake, a church, or a library used as Dumbledore’s office. At Queen Mary, University of London, we have a cemetery.

  • Poisoned Paradise Polaroids

    A few months ago The Impossible Project released a new range of film for 600 type polaroid cameras (see here). Three choices for the ‘Poisoned Paradise’ theme: colour film with different patterned frames of tiny snakes entwining around exotic flowers. It was love at first sight as I became over excited and ordered the triple pack to test all…

  • Childhood Revisited

    I had polaroid film that was expired and I wanted to use up. I decided it would be fun to do so when spending lazy days in Wakefield, the city I was born and raised in. The result was a mixture of good and bad, and the black and white film gave a haunting feel…
