Polaroids are so much fun. The colors are beautiful, weird mistakes can be gifts, and you just never know what you are going to get. I, like many other artists, was so disappointed to hear that Polaroid was no longer going to produce instant film. So sad! Yes, you can get instant results digitally, but for polaroid artists, this was bad news. The mystery is a huge part of the fun and character of a polaroid.
You can imagine my glee, then, when I came across this website over the weekend:
The Impossible Project!
So it looks like there might just be a reinvention of our beloved medium. How exciting! I am pleased to see that Ilford is supporting the project.
As they request on their site, keep your finger's crossed for them!
