Captured this image today with my Polaroid Big Shot camera. I started having trouble with the developer spreaders a few weeks back and this image was the last one that I was able to pull through them before they completely broke apart. As you can see, it tore the edges of the film and the developer only spread on part of the image. Film is so unique in that an otherwise ruined image can be salvaged. In addition to saving the image, I fixed and improved my Big Shot camera. I had a Polaroid back for a Hasselblad camera that I bought at a garage sale for $5. The roller assembly snapped right in the slot where the spreader bar assembly was on the Big Shot. Until I get a Hasselblad camera, this works great...
