What is painterly photography?  It is an artistic technique to discover the wonders of creating a unique impressionistic image.  Instead of using the traditional canvas, palette and paintbrush, I use a Polaroid camera, Time Zero film and chopsticks.  Time Zero film is unusual - you can manipulate the emulsion using a blunt tool to transform a photograph into a remarkable image.  Time Zero film is no longer produced; I was fortunate to learn the technique and create some special images before the demise of this art form.
