Two Impossible Images



Long live the Impossible Project...bringing instant photography once again to the masses and making millions of otherwise useless Polaroid Cameras usable again.
Two images here both shot with an SX70 folding SLR

Much like this one.

The Black and White pic uses Impossible PX100 Silver Shade film whilst the bottom one of the "friendly peppers" is made using Impossible PX70 Colour Shade. There is something about the colours, not quite natural, that gives these tiny jewel-like pictures a rather beautiful quality.

Instant Flowers


If you have a Polaroid 600 typr camera or any SX70 cameras (folding or box plastic) then did you know film is still available? Not from Polaroid, they stopped making it in 2009. Within a year a group of Polaroid enthusiasts and some former Polaroid employees had bought what was left of the Polaroid Machinery and re-engineered Instant Film from scratch. Much of the material that Polaroid had used in their original formulations was not available or too expensive.
What has followed, over the last 2 years has been a remarkable colaboration beteen the Impossible Project and their Customer. Films have been developed, each new issue brings improvements in emulsion, colours, tones and spread - Customers have in effect been beta testers for Impossible.

"Impossible" Fenland Project




A Christmas Eve Drive to Somersham to test out the Impossible project's PX70 Colour Shade film designed for the classic 1979's folding SX70 Camera. This film, like all these experimental films need to be protected from sunlight for the first few seconds after the image has been ejected from the camera. As each image dries out, over days, the colours shift and change.
These unique mindividual works or art need to be dried out thoroughly before the image becomes stable. I use a biscuit tin with several 100g packets of silica gel for a few weeks.
