SLR 680

This Tumblr is a tribute to the Polaroid SLR 680 and its SX-70 ancestors. SLR 680 features the Polaroid photography of Atlanta artist Olen Daelhousen. All images are shot with folding Polaroid cameras on Impossible Project film. Feeling generous? Buy me some film and keep the Impossible photographs coming.

  • Polaroid SLR 680 Returns to Action

    I finally had a chance to finish off a pack of Impossible Project PX 680 Color Protection film in my freshly repaired Polaroid SLR 680 this afternoon. Photo Tech in New York did a great job fixing the camera, I experienced zero problems with this pack. Previously, I would lose at least half a pack of film when the camera would hang mid-cycle, or simply not respond at all. I am looking forward to many instant adventures with my now perfectly functioning SLR 680.

  • I discovered the remains of this sign in front of an abandoned Thrifty location on a stroll through downtown Atlanta. The building and sign have since been leveled to make way for more student housing for Georgia State University. http://slr680.com/i/xbbc

  • Polaroid SLR 680 Back Home

    After a frustrating wait at the FedEx depot yesterday, my repaired Polaroid SLR 680 is back in my possession. Sadly, I probably won’t get a chance to shoot with it for a few days, but it did spit out the dark slide when I inserted a fresh pack of Impossible film and appears to work.

  • I found this groovy old awning on a walk through downtown Atlanta. Sadly, it was recently torn down and the facade of the building was completely rebuilt. A Waffle House now occupies the former convenience store. http://slr680.com/i/wbbc

  • Polaroid SLR 680 Damage

    I just approved the estimate from Photo Tech in New York to repair my Polaroid SLR 680. It was about what I was expecting, unfortunately. It looks like it will cost about 8 packs of Impossible film to get the camera working again, but it will be worthwhile to have an SLR 680 that takes a picture every time the button is pressed.

  • Polaroid SLR 680 Out of Commision

    I sent my SLR 680 off to Photo Tech in New York for service today. Hopefully they will be able to fix it. In the meantime, I have plenty of SX-70s to shoot with.
