First.



Yay! I am finally starting a photo blog!

I am currently obsessing about Polaroids, and dreaming about Polaroids. When I was young, my father used to shoot with a Kodak instant (yes, Kodak used to make those), which uses instant film that costs only about $2.50 per pack of 10. We had boxes of Polaroids in the cabinet, and I've been meaning to scan them all, hopefully, if i have time. Those are priceless memories, and in my opinion, nothing beats analog. Last 2007, i bought my first Polaroid camera, a gray chunky Polaroid impulse plus a bunch of 779 films off Ebay. I wasn't too happy with the results so the camera stayed in the cabinet, and the films stayed in the fridge. I occassionally take some snaps of friends and give the instant films away. Two weeks ago, inspired by all the polaroids i saw in Flickr, I decided to shoot again. I was blown away by the vintage-y feel it gave.




So off to Ebay i went and fell in love with a Polaroid SLR 680. I got it, and it takes magical pictures! So there! (The first photo above was taken with the SLR 680 and seriously expired film, circa 2001). And here it goes, my endless profession of love for POLAROID.

Since Polaroid films are no longer made, please support:

the impossible project

P.S. If you know anybody selling polaroid films, please let me know!
