Polaroid Week 2011

By

Last week was ‘roid week for this year, and what better way to spend it than doing what I love the most. I had just received some Spectra Gridfilm in the mail. It had an expiration date of ’08 so I was super excited about the semi-freshness of it. Gridfilm is my ultimate favourite Polaroid film. It’s so magical looking to me, and I doubt that I’ll be able to find that much more of it before it goes completely extinct. Anyway, here’s what I shot for ‘roid week 2011:

If you love and miss taking Polaroid photos, there’s no reason why you can’t still do it. I often get surprised reactions from people when they find out that I shoot Polaroid still.. so many people don’t know that you can still purchase the film! Just go to www.the-impossible-project.com to see some of the many samples & test shots. Buy some! You’ll get that feeling that unicorns actually DO exist.
