193 Uncommon

A 1935 All-Brass fan from the Italian electromechanical firm "Marelli" photographed with a 1992 Polaroid Image System camera on instant paper. Quite uncommon, I dare say!

Haha uncommon indeed! That is a very cool looking fan actually, it's beautifully designed. You know we don't make things like that anymore...

I like this and the way you processed it to - it goes well together. I can see it on a book cover.

@kerosene thank you! nor we do, actually, this is 82 years old...

[Domenico Dodaro]

@LaLa thank you! too kind of you. No processing at all, however: straight out of (instant) camera...

[LaLa]

@domenicododaro That is really good ---- it think it goes well with the Polaroid frame and how you composed it. Yes indeed quite uncommon but beautiful.

[Domenico Dodaro]

@LaLa 😊

We have an old brass fan very similar to this. I'm also a fan of this shot.

[Domenico Dodaro]

@graemestevens thank you kindly! As a fan, be careful not to let your head spin... 😉

[Richard Sayer]

The Polaroid treatment suits this beautiful art-deco fan perfectly.

@vignouse I'm so happy of having retrieved this relatively new Pola at a second hand shop. Thank you

I love the metallic sheen of this old fan xx

Yes almost an antique and processed in an almost antique method. Cool! Does it still work?

[Domenico Dodaro]

@psychographer Thank you Lisa!

[Domenico Dodaro]

@joysabin They both work, the fan (I think the tension has been somehow changed from 125 to 220) and the Polaroid! The main difference is that if you put a finger too close to the Polaroid it shoots and you waste some money, if you put a finger too close to the fan you lose the finger ;-)

[Walks @ 7]

LOL and no fingers, please
