Why? BECAUSE ITS MAGIC. Ya ya, digital has instant gratification on an LCD screen..but can you touch it? can you shake it? can you watch it develop with anticipation?
Wheres the charm?
Polaroid closed its doors in 2008, but a few employees and film lovers founded The Impossible Project to keep it alive. After many years of research, re invention and donations from enthusiasts like myself, (pat on back) its available again.Lucky for me a gallery and store is located here in the city..lucky for you, you can buy online.
P.S. MY BIRTHDAY IS COMING (June 8) AND FILM IS ALL I WANT!!!! Christmas too.. :D
Heres a little from the Impossible Project below ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Please visit their website after you view my blog! Its pretty special.
 In October 2008 The Impossible Project saved the last Polaroid production plant for integral instant film in Enschede (NL) and started to invent and produce totally new instant film materials for traditional Polaroid cameras. In 2010 Impossible saved analog instant photography from extinction by releasing various, brand new and unique instant films. Therewith Impossible prevents more than 300.000.000 perfectly functioning Polaroid cameras from becoming obsolete, changes the world of photography and keeps variety, tangibility and analogue creativity and possibilites alive.  Why do I love Polaroids? A) Magic. B) The curiosity of what will come out. C) The imperfections. D) The grain. E) The white border. Here are some photos that I have taken. I have 3 cameras. Polaroid One Step (retired) Polaroid Spectra (favorite. allows double exposure) Polaroid 600 (classic) Fade 2 Black | Impossible Film |
Push | Impossible Film. I converted some to black and white.
Ooooooo.. These are from my beloved and new found Spectra!!! Double exposures make me float.
