Description
Golden Pineapple was created by manipulating Polaroid Time Zero Film as it was developing. The emulsion on Time Zero Film is very thick and composed of separate dye layers. These dyes are kind of like peanut butter and can be moved by applying pressure to the protective coating on the very top of the film. You can see the layers of dye overlap like transparent ribbons and how the emulsion is distorted creating mountains and valleys on the image. My reason for making these images was to push the limits of the old technology and incorporate it into the new digital world of film. These images really stand out in a crowd and are very vibrant and colorful. Please feel free to leave a message if you have any questions or comments. You can easily view additional images at my web site.

paul this one is just gorgeous - in my mind one the more successful because of its subtley - you have managed to combine painting & photography to an unusual degree with your hand manipulations. This easily rivals the palm tree images in my mind. hmmm - the long pictorial elements seem to let this technique sing.
