New Polaroid camera????
A bit more news over at The Impossible project. Their latest press release has this little titbit in it…
The Impossible Project – Camera
Re-positioning Instant Photography, Impossible will start selling a new Instant camera in the end of
2010. This camera will be a homage to the high quality photographic cameras of the golden
Polaroid years, transformed to the new analog customers of present times. Like the legendary SX-
70 camera, introduced in 1972, the new instant camera will feature a high quality glass lens
system, manual settings for professional photography as well as carefully developed unique and
characteristic design.
The development of this new Integral Instant Camera will be supported by Mr. Henny Waanders,
former head of camera development at Polaroid. Mr. Waanders is the brain behind many unique
Polaroid cameras and the best expert worldwide to transfer his unique expertise of Polaroid
cameras into a new modern interpretation of an Instant camera.
Whoohaaaa! That sounds a little bit exciting.

Here are two photos, one morning, one afternoon. Apart from a lot of people knowing I live on the East coast of Australia, which makes guessing very easy, it would be hard to tell which was which.

The Cost of Sleep
Joe Decker has written an interesting article on sleep, photographers and getting the best light. It reminds me of my road trips, where I use the middle of the day to travel, and try and get to my destination before sunset to use the golden light.

1000 Frames of Hitchcock
Whilst not exactly a photography based link, this one does have a tenuous link, that being it is all about film. Have a gander at some of the films of Alfred Hitchcock and how they have been compressed to 1000 frames. Very clever.
