Polaroid Impossible Project

Earlier this week I decided to try the new polaroid films of the Impossible Project (www.the-impossible-project.com). Their mission is to make new polaroid films, since the old ones are not made anymore, however it's still in a quite experimental state, I noticed. Six of the eight polaroid pictures that I took came out really crappy, blurry and not very beautiful. Of course I wasn't very happy about that, these films are quite expensive. So I went back to the shop I bought them, they said I needed to change and rechange the adjustments of my camera, until the pictures would come out nicely. In the end I decided to buy an other type of polaroid camera, since mine has only one slide button (for light adjustments) and there's not really anything to 'experiment' with actually :D, so! Yesterday I bought a Polaroid Close up 636, hopefully I will now be able to take some sharper pictures.. Excited to try it out!


Well, I guess in some weird way I actually start to like these pictures

View-master

This week my latest vintage find: a View-master! When I saw it, I instantly had flashbacks of my childhood, when I used to play ALOT with these things. I just love the 'old' colors and nice pictures, I was wondering if it would work out if you took a picture of it, and it did (well, not in 3D of course, but it's nice enough to me)



Now I want to make my own pictures, so I can look at them with my view-master. I really thought it was kind of impossible, but then I found a machine that actually makes a view-master reel with your own photos. Wauw, another thing I want to have..
