Reclaimed is a series of instant peel apart film including the first shots I ever captured on this medium. Although most shots are reclaimed negatives, meaning I've used a bleaching process to bring life back into the negatives. I will also share the positives of this project in the same series. This series is featured in my upcoming book. Read more about it and view the kickstarter through the external link.
This moment was captured in Sept 2021 on Fuji FP100C expired in 11/2015. That's 5 years and 10 months beyond expiration. Shot on my Polaroid 600SE, this film is the last of its kind and is no longer in production. When shot, the negative can be shot after the positive is peeled away. If the negative makes it back home undamaged (which can be very difficult) it can be reclaimed using bleach and a whole lot of time and patience. As you can see, its so worth the struggle. The negatives are incredibly beautiful. I like to leave the raw edges in the scan, a strange psychedelic reminder of the raw physical nature of this old film technology.
This shot was captured during one of many Utah adventures with my lovely muse and friend @meghanclaireart as she climbed towards the rising sun.
The Reclaimed series is a collection of bleach-reclaimed negatives from various stocks of expired peel-apart instant film. I fell in love with this medium about a month before Fuji permanently discontinued the stock forever. Hard to find and nearly all expired, it's called dead film. Now, each shot that I take is a pressing reminder of how precious each moment truly is. This film isn't coming back, every shot is priceless. The more time passes, the less effective the developer is, the more this film fades into history.
Once peeled, the developed film has two halves. One positive, one negative. Negatives are often thrown away as they're unusable and completely black until you dissolve the black layer with bleach. This process is very easy to screw up, any bleach that touches the opposite side of the negative, even as it's rolling off during the washing phase, will melt away the image beneath. I've come to appreciate the strange artifacts, like the edges of fading memories.
