24 hours of expired film

this was my last pack of TZ Artistic film for my SX-70.... the expiration date was 10/09. i took these four photos 24 hours ago... i scanned them within the first 5 minutes, again after 6 hours, and at the 24 hour mark. this is why i've learned the hard way to scan immediately. the color really changes and shifts as time goes by, and they will continue to turn in the days and weeks to come.  

here's another example... the original photo taken on st patrick's day, and i just scanned it again, almost one month later.  rather dramatic. it's the nature of the beast i suppose... though i would love to find some good dependable film for my SX-70. hey, impossible project... i'm talking to you.
