Polaroid Apocalypse

Polaroid Apocalypse is somewhat of a mourning group for Polaroid film... yeah yeah I know there are a million of those out there on the world wide web already... but this ones a little different... a little more interactive, a lot more fun. 

Their theory is Polaroid is dying and has somewhat of a "Bucket List" of things it would like to get done before it, well... kicks the proverbial bucket.... This list includes various themes for you to take photos of, they even go as far to stage group gatherings and events where people bring along random props, costumes and all the film they can get their hands on and just shoot weird and wonderful set ups to their hearts content... Unfortunately this option is only open to those in the San Fran bay area, but anyone can contribute to the bucket list just click here to find out more.

The impossible project update.

Don't forget to pay regular visits to this website people. After all these are the kind souls that are working tirelessly behind the scenes to bring us a new and improved Polaroid film for 600 cameras by 2010 and they need all the love and support they can get, even if its just one single website hit from little old you, cos my guess is, that one little website hit in the eyes on investors is a vote for the comeback of Polaroid film... the more interest we show the happier they'll be forking out their hard earned cash to support The Impossible Project.

Paper Camera's

Check out this beautiful camera collection and equally exquisite photography blog here. Trust me you'll be inspired... even if its just to go home and give your camera collection a little tlc.

100 posts....

This blog started off with a simple introduction and a new years resolution, given my track history with actually keeping those resolutions (I never quite did get around to acquiring my license or stop biting my nails) I hardly expected this here blog to see the end of January let alone make 100 posts.

And here we are, almost 5 months later and 100 posts in... so in honor of this little milestone here are some utterly random facts your brain will probably have to dispose of some much needed information to make room for the useless information below.

Wolves are capable of covering up to 100 miles in a single day
On average 100 people choke on ball point pens every year.
the first 9 prime numbers equal 100....

Random facts aside, this blog has inspired me to look at life through the view finder of my camera more often, I hope its inspired you in some little way too... Oh and best stay away from ball point pens, you know, just to be on the safe side.

The shot above was taken on my Holga using 35mm slide film...

Awkward Family Photos...

Awkward family photos. Don't play dumb... we all have them, and no longer shall they be buried in shoe boxes and stashed underneath the bed... be proud of that over sized straw hat with the giant sunflower sewn into the side your mum made you wear (yes that was me)... or just how high your shorts were up around your neck all those years ago....

Bogus Blog - Surf Photographer

Nice to see not all photographers have sold their souls to the digital revolution. I stumbled across this here blog while aimlessly surfing (pardon the pun) the Internet this afternoon.

His names Morgan Maassan, and he's got one hell of a eye on him for 18 years of age. You can learn more about him here and read his blog here... the shots above were taken with a Minolta SRT101 using Kodak Gold 200.

All hail the grainy photo.

Is this You Photo Project

Ever stumbled across a photo on the ground on your merry way home? or jumped into a photo booth with your friends only to find passport shots left behind by some random stranger? Ever think they might just want that photo back? The dudes at "Is this you?" did, and they've gone all good Samaritan on the world and have created a home for these photos online in a bid to reconnect them with their rightful owners.

Not only is this a bloody nice thing to do, its a great place for a giggle if you have some time to waste... Click here to check out the goods!
