Polaroid film! YES Please.

I recently stumbled upon a company called Impossible who've been making instant film for traditional Polaroid cameras. Their story is incredibly interesting. Impossible started with a small team of the very best 10 former Polaroid employees who shared a passion as well as the belief in their Impossible dream.

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.

The most exciting/challenging part of the story is that they had to start from scratch due to the fact that the original Polaroid colour dyes weren't available anymore and there is no chance to reproduce them. After thousands of experiments they managed to develop a new film system which launched March of this year (Yay!).

I'm yet to figure out what kind of film our vintage polaroid cameras take and whether the cameras actually still work but failing that Impossible also sell cameras! This story inspired me so much.

Here is to ingenuity, perseverance and sheer gutsy determination.
