My last pics with Polaroid 554

And there goes my last cartridge of Polaroid 554, the last polaroid was left of my 4x5 inches. Farewell to the smell, texture ... The truth is that despite the years since this cartridge expired the result is better than I expected, but chemists began to smell very, very bad.

I wanted to spend it with some portraits of my friend Manel Mondejar. For me as a portrait photographer this film is very special and a great base to work with film.

Portrait of Joaquin with Portra 400

I am delighted with what can be done with a cheap camera with a modern canon mount and a good 35mm film. Take these pictures of my friend Joaquin in a fencing competition in which I was recently.
