While Polaroid Go uses the same emulsion as the 600/I-Type, it's packaged differently and it only works with the Go cameras. But it's also a lot cheaper than the full-sized film and still plenty of fun.
Using Pipilo by @luckkerr to look at your favorite photography hashtag on Mastodon like #BelieveInFiIm or #PolaroidWeek is amazing. Highly recommend trying the latest beta.
My one entry for #PolaroidWeek so far, because this is what’s been occupying my photo brain. I showed some of these in a slideshow with sound last month. They’re part of a bigger book project that’s just not coming together easily.
I've been busy this week with an upcoming Polaroid-related Thing (soon, soon!) but that means I haven't had time to produce anything new for #PolaroidWeek
I do finally have this Polaroid emulsion lift properly digitised and ready to show you though!
The original is on Yupo paper, which turns out to be a great medium for lifts if you want to be able to make the paper disappear after. And it dries totally flat 👍
Tempted to try printing it large to see what happens.
Big Sur and Point Reyes, for day 5 of #PolaroidWeek. I dug out a pack of OG Impossible Project PX100 Silver Shade film from the first year, 2010-2011. Got lucky that it still (mostly) worked!

Apollo capsules splashed down in the ocean until December, 1972. The SX-70 was introduced in April, 1972. Who's to say there wasn't someone on the recovery ship with an early SX-70?
Gamboa Point, Big Sur, for day 4 of #PolaroidWeek. I dug out a pack of OG Impossible Project PX100 Silver Shade film from the first year, 2010-2011. Got lucky that it still (mostly) worked!

Part of the Perseverance mission to Mars, Ingenuity is the helicopter that flies in the Martian atmosphere and sends photos and videos back to Perseverance and from there to NASA on Earth. Ingenuity is more than two years into an intended 30 day mission, far exceeding expectations.
Fog and Rain, Big Sur, CA. Day Two of #PolaroidWeek. This was my last ever pack of Polaroid Chocolate 100 film, shot November 2022. What a miracle that almost all of the frames had a full spread, 13 years expired! ❤️🍫
Expired Polaroid Chocolate 100 film, Polaroid 360 Land Camera.
The sound of the world changing above your head (not beneath your feet).
Beep. Beep. Beep.
It was the wakeup call America heeded. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard. And when we went, it was for all mankind.
