The F*cked

Back in the good old days ... you know, five years ago when film companies still existed and/or sold their products in New Zealand ... you could get this product called 55PN.

It was a Polaroid product, much utilised by Fiona Pardington and Mark Klett. Unlike most Polaroid products it produced both a positive and a negative (hence the 'PN'). That means you had a piece of film you could make prints from.

The downside was, being a Polaroid product, it was often temperamental resulting in images such as these.

Another issue was that the positive and negative operated at different ISO. In order to get a good negative you got a near unusable positive (and vice versa), much like this shot.
