No. 5 "That Lovely Green Tone"

Polaroid Artistic Time Zero film (or ATZ for short) was made from expired Time Zero chemicals after they stopped production of the original Time Zero film for SX-70 cameras in 2006. Because ATZ was made with expired chemicals, the film has some quirky characteristics, its biggest one being that the image starts turning green in the (sometimes hours) days and weeks after the initial development. The scans above were taken just after the photos were taken and they have since developed a more pronounced green color cast. The film also has such a nice softness to it, and the scan just does not do it justice of just how beautiful the originals actually are.
