They said it wasn't possible, but it is.
I don't really know what I was expecting from the Impossible Project's first film. I'll be honest, when they announced that they would be starting with monochrome I wasn't that excited. I can develop and print my own black and white film, and it's the colour of Polaroid film that I really love. But when the first sample photographs were unveiled yesterday I instantly (no pun intended) fell in love. These are no crisp, contrasty black and white images. They are soft, dreamy, almost like lith prints - in short they are magic, just like a Polaroid should be and I can't wait to see my first print developing before my eyes.
