Photos from NorthWest Majors 2K9

GD = General Discussion.

Anyone know who the asain woman and the tall guy with the tats were? Looked like they had nice camera setups and were taking a lot of pictures.

That would be HappyStickPerson as I noticed he was using a Polaroid

EDIT:

BTW, what were you shooting with? I haven’t seen that style of Polaroid, and was surprised to see it being used since I heard that all the Polaroid film went kaput or is now super mega rare

Lol, yeah, I’m a kerrnublet so it doesn’t surprise me! I’m usually running everywhere at events because I get SUPER excited to hang out AND play video games. It’s pretty much my favorite pass time.

Haha, hella beastin’ on that Tuna Sandwich! Thanks for the Aquafina, yo. I’ll hella get you a water of your choice along with some personalized Tim’s Cascade JalapNo flavored chips. :wgrin:

ahhhh my 600SE, she is a beautiful beautiful thing. it’s essentially a polaroid branded mamiya press. it was built by mamiya for polaroid and can take any medium format roll film back.

yes polaroid as we know it is forever gone. some asshat bought the company when they were bankrupt for the brand name and is now working on producing some sort of inkjet printer that attaches to a digital camera and calling that a polaroid. when production of pack film was axed in june 2008 I bought up several grand worth of 669, and 690 and have been hoarding it like a mutha fucker.

there is hope however. fuji makes color and B&W pack films that are ok, the colors are not as unique as polaroid and you don’t get that instant “70’s” look to everything. also the “impossible project” is set to start producing polaroid compatible instant film in 2010!!! but it’s only integral film and not pack film (boo)

one day I may get on the digital bandwagon, CMOSs have come a long way and there are nice setups that can be used for print work. it just feels dirty to me.

anyway…

<3 That’s all I’ve got in me, until you press my buttons and combo my feelings into a 750 stun, then Focus Attack level 3 into combo->Super. :smiley:

Anytime Francis, I’ve got your back man. Aquafina is my choice, and Tim’s Cascade jalapNo flavored chips are my cup of tea (Not literally, even though I’m sure jalapNo flavored tea would clear the sinuses).

I’m gonna hit you up tomorrow, so be ready for that text/phone call!

Nah, they started making the film again. At least for some of the cameras.

Your match was that hype. I was way more into that match than any other 5v5.

Riki, lemme look through my pics because I prolly got one of you but lighting was terrible so it could have been blurry.

Mechanica, are you sure you aren’t looking at that paper for those new polaroid printer things?

my pics should be up in an hour or so. im currently editing them.

Yeah, I’ve never heard of that shit. I guess I don’t know for sure, but my friend is hella into polaroids and we were crushed when they announced that they stopped making polaroid film… Then we found some news story or something that said somebody paid a bunch of money to fund the remaking of at least some of the film.

Yeah, I know and have heard of an underground group trying to revive it, but I think the cost of chemicals to make the film to the effectiveness of what they’ll get is horribly out of skew

but again it’s only integrated (SX-70/600 series) and not pack (80/100 series). june 2008 was the suck for polaroid freaks, march 2009 is when everything expired though I’ve shot film that was 5+ years past date it makes for some interesting effects.

but if the impossible project people can pull it off at least we may get more of this type of awesome…
