Abstract Polaroids

For many years, I have been making abstract photographs by photographing clouds in the sky. When I began using Polaroid again in early 2022, I decided to experiment with using Polaroid film and the 1978 Polaroid SX-70 camera for my abstraction project.

Working with the old Polaroid camera would be a lot different than using the interchangeable lens digital cameras that I usually use for my abstract photographs of the sky. I typically use telephoto lenses to isolate interesting cloud formations and areas of color. That isn't possible with the Polaroid. The SX-70 has a built-in non-zoom lens that cannot be changed, and it is a slightly wide-angle lens. The opposite of what I normally choose for this type of work. I had to find larger cloud formations to work with in order to fill the frame with the Polaroid camera's wider view.
