Results from Film that was Mistreated, Badly Stored, Heated, Unloved & Wayyyyyyyyy Past Its Expiration Date.
The film stock in question was Kodachrome 64 (110 format), expired in May 1988 and purchased from e-bay. E-bay seller promised film was properly stored. I never say it, but I’m gonna have to…impossible that it was properly stored.
Images shot 2/20/2010 on the same roll of 5/88 expired Kodachrome.
Shot at Chainsaw Kiss film benefit @ The Clash Bar in New Jersey.
w/ the JC Penny “11” 110 Camera and MagiCube Flash.
Don't know why this particular frame yielded a blue-magenta cast (while other shots from the same roll varied)
Don't know why this particular frame yielded a color-less cast (while other shots from the same roll varied. My guess is that the film emulsion sensed that a vampire and werewolf were being photographed)
The most normal-looking (sort-of) exposure while certainly the subject matter is far from normal.
Too creeped out to guess why "666" appears in the middle of the frame (instead of the image that I shot).
I will admit, it is very rare that I encounter such a horribly stored roll of film. Luck of the draw.
For comparison, here is a shot taken with my Canon FTb
On the same evening using Kodachrome 64 that expired 8/1992
Shattered that the images from the 1988 film look so aweful. Don’t lose faith in expired film. Here is a shot taken with Kodachrome 25 with an expiration date of 06/1985 (shot in 2009)

Containing more than 30 newly developed components, Impossible today introduced a new, monochrome Instant Film - the PX 100 and PX 600 Silver Shade - and is therewith saving millions of perfectly functioning Polaroid cameras from becoming obsolete (as Polaroid discontinued its instant film production early in 2008).

Impossible has beyond that started collaborations with international photographers, who were invited to work with the new film material and therewith created a base for The Impossible Collection – a growing archive of contemporary Instant Photography artworks.
