Random mid day blog: Polaroids are coming back.
So Polaroid stop making their famous instant film in the summer of 2008. And pretty much the dream images that was polaroid would be gone forever as soon as the film runs out. I just recently found out that a group of people calling themselves the Impossible b.v. has bought the factory in the Netherlands and will be producing polaroid film and will be distributing the in early 2010.
There's also a company in china that's going to reproduce the polaroid cameras themselves.
When I started shoot I had a fascination with all thing vintage especially with polaroid. So much so that I have 5 polaroid camera at one time. Range from cameras that were built in the 30's or 40's till my most recent which I purchase at a drug store in 2008. I still own 3 out of the 5 cameras.
I tried to make some of my photos that I took with my dSLR to look like the colors of the film of polaroid. Through a program I got from poladroid.net it kind of immolates the actually 600 film. My pictures got a little cut off but I think I just have to resize them before going through the process. I'll give a go a little later in time.
Hopefully when the films starts coming out in 2010 it will be affordable enough to for everybody (especially my broke ass) to enjoy.
