My most recent book, Polaroid Manipulations:
A Complete Visual Guide to Creating SX-70, Transfer,
and Digital Prints has recently gone out of print. I have the last copies, except for used ones. Signed copies are available at a discounted price of $15 plus USPS shipping/handling (priority mail or media mail), and tax if you live in Hawaii.
Although the book has a section on Polaroid SX-70 manipulations, it also has a lot of other information--a section on new creative image and emulsion transfer techniques not found in Polaroid Transfers, with updated equipment information, and a section on digital printing. It is 208 pages, with 335 color photos--lots of great work from over 30 artists, including myself. I love scanning my transfers and SX-70 images, then working with them further in the computer, and printing them with digital printers, so how I do that is covered in this book. These copies won't last long, so order soon! Use the signed book order form to order a signed copy of Polaroid Manipulations directly from the author for $20--regularly$29.95 per book (+ shipping & handling).
"This is a companion volume to Carr's successful Polaroid Transfers: A Complete Visual Guide
to Creating Image and Emulsion Transfers. Polaroid Manipulations expands on these
themes and introduces the new possibilities available by manipulating Polaroid SX-70 film. Carr
has responded to the explosion of consumer interest in digital imaging by including specific
information for scanning, Photoshop enhancements, enlarging, and various options for printing
the images digitally.
While the image and emulsion transfers require at least a kitchen table and a few accessories,
the Polaroid manipulation process can be done anywhere, instantly, and will often benefit from
this spontaneity. "Polaroid manipulations are an easy and uncomplicated way for anyone to
begin exploring their creativity," says Carr, "although there's enough substance in
the book to provide creative opportunities for the serious artist and photographer. The
simplicity of technique, the element of surprise, the 'happy accidents' that happen, allow
beginners as well as 'experts' to create masterpieces right away."
