Re: Polaroid 20x24" film
The Polaroid 20x24 can be used outside the studio. William Wegman uses it
for some of his weimariner (dog) photos, with Tracy Storer of Calumet
bringing it on location in a variety of settings.
It is big and the image is 20x24, just like with a normal 20x24 camera.

If you want a chance to shoot with the 20x24 before bulding one and want a
lot of hands on experience in formats from 4x10 to 16x20, think seriously
about attending the mammoth camera workshop in Sandy, Utah at the Waterford
Institute this summer. The Polaroid 20x24 will be there and shooting with it
is part of the workshop. Also there will be Ron Wisner, Keith Canham and
Dick Phillips, all with their cameras for you to shoot with, Michael A.
Smith and Paula Chamlee, Steve Simmons and Lois Connor, with Tillman Crane
putting on the workshop. For more info, contact Tillman Crane at
tillman@softsolutions.com for more information.
