Notes on this view:

This instant color photograph was made on Polaroid SX-70 integral film with an SX-70 Land camera. SX-70 prints are easily identified by their unique format; it has a square 3 1/8 x 3 1/8 inch image surrounded by a white plastic rectangular frame to make the overall print 3 1/2 x 4 1/4 inches. This print is characterized by fine grain, saturated color, and strong contrast. To make an exposure, the photographer could just point and shoot because the camera/integral film system was engineered to automatically expose and produce a developed color print with no intervention from the photographer in 90 seconds.
