Fujifilm Wipes our Polaroid Tears
Brandon over at Fujfilm gave me a heads-up this morning about their newly published information about emulsion transfers; looks like they’re trying to step into some Polaroid-sized shoes. It is rather impressive that Fuji is responding to the fine artist here. From the press release:
“Fujifilm has always supported the culture of photography and in these changing times that philosophy is unwavering. All of Fujifilm’s Instant Films are capable of satisfying both specific technical markets and the fine artist whose unique creativity and perspective relies on the unique characteristics of instant film products. In this special edition of Cable Release you will find the techniques for using FP-100C Instant Film for creative printmaking — see the instructions for Emulsion Lift and the story on Emulsion Transfer. We trust this information comes at a welcome time.”

Ever since I realized that FP-100C was about 1/4th the cost on ebay, I’ve been shooting it. I love that film.
