Some of you may or have noticed that I haven’t been posting quite as much this month as I typically do, and mostly that’s because I’m currently halfway through pounding out an entire novel within a month. Inspired by those crazy kids at NaNoWriMo, I decided to give it a try myself in February. I’m […]

“Because it’s there” – George Mallory, when asked why he was about to make a (fatal) attempt to climb Mt. Everest I don’t know when it first came up in conversation, but suddenly we couldn’t stop talking about it. Somewhere in the United States, there was a race where one ate a bunch of donuts […]
Read More...I’m going to write a 50,000 word novel in a month
I have a concept for a young adult fiction series called ‘Robot Farts’ that I’ve been working on for some time. I’ve written out synopses, spelled out characters, and even written a handful of chapters. I can’t wait to write it. I think it has potential, and I really want it to be good. So […]
Read More...Farewell to Polaroid Image Soft Tone Instant Film
Earlier this week I shot my last remaining pack of Polaroid Image Soft Tone film. It feels like the end of an era. Back when the Impossible Project was still in its infancy, it used to sell what remained of a stockpile of expired Polaroid instant film. 600 and SX-70 film all flew off the […]
Read More...How to shoot Polaroid and Instant Film Indoors
Polaroid, Impossible Project, and Fuji Instax film works flawlessly outdoors during the day. With bright sunlight illuminating the world, colors pop, cameras focus quickly, and a fantastic image is born. However, bring that instant camera inside, and often everything just falls apart. Pictures come out blurry, underexposed, or are marred by a hideous flash. How […]
Read More...Celebrating Four Years of Failing at Tumblr
I am an old man on Tumblr. I’ve seen kingdoms rise and fall, hipsters explained, memes analyzed, photo blogs rise, photo blogs fall. Most of the people I followed even two years ago are long gone. My friends that got me on the platform originally departed for greener pastures years ago. Yet I remain. Four […]
Read More...Where can you get cheap Polaroid film?
Update April 2020: Polaroid Originals has rebranded to Polaroid, but it’s still the same company selling the same film. Update November 2017: The Impossible Project has rebranded itself as Polaroid Originals. The film is the same excellent instant stock that Impossible has been steadily refining for years, but with one big difference. It’s more affordable […]
Read More...Happy 2014 everyone!
I’m a bit behind the times due to a little stomach flu that decided to pay me a post-Christmas visit, but this wouldn’t be a blog without New Year’s Eve/Year In Review Blog Post(TM). For some reason, I initially felt like I didn’t have that much to report, but looking back, 2013 was a huge […]
Read More...New Review: Impossible Project Color Film for Spectra/Image (Late 2013)
Whew, we’re finally at the end of all these new Impossible Project films! The last (but certainly not least) of these is the Color Film for Spectra/Image (Late 2013). Nothing too crazy to report here, the film is almost identical to Color Film for 600 in every way except for the shape of the frame. […]
Read More...New Review: Impossible Project Color Film for SX-70 (Late 2013)
This crazy train of Impossible Project instant film reviews continues with Color Film for SX-70. Like it’s brothers and sisters, this film is excellent, held back only by the limitations of the slow speed of all SX-70 films. If only there was something faster… like Polaroid 600. Check out the review for all the details!
