Long Live Polaroid!

This is a great video about the Impossible Project. I get this surge of joy whenever I see something from these angel geniuses.

Now, who wants to resurrect Agfa’s Portriga Rapid?

Delightful films from Gobelins

Burning Safari
Oktapodi
La Migration Bigoudenn
Cocotteminute

I’m a huge fan of the short films coming out of Gobelins, a French school for visual arts. Everyone I’ve ever seen from this school looks very tired. It must be a hard program. The work coming out of there is fresh and delightful, though and well executed. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Not from Gobelins, but still French, here’s the trailer for another gem:

Skhizein

Also not from Gobelins, but lovely is Kiwi!

Wow.

First, Polaroid discontinues instant film and now this. It’s been an interesting month.

Awesome! There is a web community of people who like to shoot Polaroid film:http://polanoid.net/

In other news, Jessica and I visited the Andre Kertesz show at Silverstein Photograhy in NYC this weekend. Beautiful work. The tiny size and perfect detail really draw you in. So sad.

I feel lucky to have seen these photographs in person.
