“it's not about what I've done... it's about what I'm doing..”

I spent last night poking around the site with a flashlight and a Polaroid.

Tuesday, January 20, 2009 - NOT SO FAST ~ "businessman plans to rescue the abandoned format"
"If all goes to plan, the Polaroid factory in Enschede, Amsterdam, will soon be making film again thanks to its new owner, an eccentric Austrian artist and businessman named Florian Kaps.
...Dubbed "The Impossible Project", the development of new film for Polaroid cameras launches today. Working with the Manchester-based black and white photography company Ilford, the machinery is in place to produce film of two exposure types, each compatible with both the classic SX-70 cameras popular with artists and the more modern 600 series."
Alright!

Secret Window (2004)
There's something cool about film ... I've taken 10's of thousands of photos using film; more than I ever had taken with my Nikon dslr, not cuz I don't like the dslr. Its just; there was something different before; there was a process - an element of chance - chance you might have missed that moment and you would never know till you develop that roll. (the pro's claim to know, but I've worked with some pro's and nothing is what it seems) - I was responsible for making the end product look better than better - it had to be flawless. I'm not saying I was flawless, I'm just saying I had to be... the only thing I don't like about chance - my buddies and myself drive to Manhatten for the day and I took a few rolls of film, and my sensor had been damaged and all my film was crazy over exposed. At the Super 8, I climbed out the window or our downtown room, not sure of the hieght - the ledge was thick though; but this was one of the photos - the one that I could get something from, thanks Photosop
