she's probably using Polaroid 110A camera and 'Polaroid Transfer'.

I totally disagree that someone in the US would not be offended. I suspect if I called a native New Yorker a Mexican for example I would get short shrift. But, by your thinking you are all Americans, i.e. North America/South America. So gringo what are your thoughts on that. Much the same I suspect if you called a Frenchman an Englishman!

[georgemcintyre92]

Wow,you clearly know nothing of how the European Union works if you think the 29 countries who are in the Euro Zone have given up their 'sovereignty. the remainder are not even a part of it.And, I have yet to meet a Yank who likes to be called a Canadian, so yes, we do take umbrage at being called European!

[georgemcintyre92]

Wrong, 857 million people in Europe

[georgemcintyre92]

I cannot believe this girl was described as 'European'. What an insult, are you aware of how many countries there are in Europe? Look it up! Is she German, British, Albanian, Danish, Greek, Italian? Good God there is such an arrogance in that very comment. Are you aware there are 57 million people who live in 'Europe. You might just as well have said 'some white chick'.

@georgemcintyre92 wow wow wow,you need to come down a little bit,you don't have to tell us there are how many countries in europe,i just has no idea how possible is it to called someone 'european' could be an 'insult',you must came up a 'new idea' about it because i don't think most people from europe will even agree with you,this is all in your mind,so please look at the world,in US this is never become a problem in no way,just like asian being called asian all the time,and nobody will complain

[DaveBondJr]

@georgemcintyre92 Yeah, well, umm, she is European, regardless of whether or not you get your panties in wad. Those individual countries that you mentioned gave up their sovereignty when the decided to become a European Union!..

[casablancamicasa]

@DaveBondJr someone answer you,do you want to answer him?

[RiOtEmpire777]

she sounds german, just thought i'd say!

[urbanimage]

I think what she's doing is lifting the emulsion off the Polaroid print by soaking it in warm water until the emulsion layer starts to floats off of the backing. Once the top layer is loose she's transferring it on to another sheet of paper.

[MultiLooksee]

[fishyming]

Its a polaroid 195 or 180

[acesofgambit]

[casablancamicasa]

[AnhRichie]

do you know what camera she was using?

[casablancamicasa]

@AnhRichie i got no idea about that,some kind of old/vintage film camera i guess.

@AnhRichie

Looks like an old polaroid camera - but could very well be a Bessa III or Fuji FP-1 with a polaroid back - she's making polaroid transfer prints. Cool way to make a buck.
