Polaroid I-Zone

The first shot I took with my Polaroid I-Zone camera. I cut down some black and white 35mm film and fit it inside. Due to the fact that I didn't measure it for fit before I attempted to load the negative inside, (in the dark), the negative kind of bunched up and I think it didn't turn out as sharply focused as it could have. I do a little more trimming and try it again. Camera: Polaroid I-Zone Film: Kentmere 100 ISO black and white 35mm film Date: November 7th, 2011, 11.55 a.m. Location: Norris City, Illinois, U.S.A.

A Harley-Davidson sticker on the back of my motorhome. Riding motorcycles could also be like the R.V. life and motoring along the open roads. They don’t make film for these cameras any more, and I never shot with one in the first place. So, I have no idea what kind of film it was or what it looked like, or whether it came in a cartridge or pack. I built up the edge of the film plane a little bit by cutting some thin strips of cardboard to glue along where the “negative” area was. I’m pretty sure that, since it was an instant film camera, the film didn’t rest right on those ridges. Most likely a little way off them to achieve the right focus. I used two thinknesses of cardboard on both the top and bottom where the negative sat, but I should have used only one thickness on each side, because the focus is off. The area where the film rides was also slightly smaller than the height of the film gate, so I had to trim a little of the film to get it to fit inside the camera. I ended up cutting through the sprocket holes on one side to get it to fit. But, I got it to produce a picture.
