Ah, the difficulties of shielding from light...

Look there are blurry people and patches of weird.

+7 down in the comments, go look, there's a story!

I came across The Impossible Project a few months ago while reading about what Autumn de Wilde was doing in collaboration with The Decemberists for their newest album. I hadn't known much about Polaroid before that, but hot damn those photos looked sexy in all their instant analogue goodness. I got a little obsessed with the idea.

And so after much lust, introspection, research, penny-pinching, and some wealthy friends buying old things off me, I up and bought myself a vintage Polaroid SX-70 off eBay. (It was a screaming deal with a reliable guarantee!) It just arrived in the mail earlier today, and I of course went through my first pack in under 12 hours.

My wallet feels a little lighter every time I click the shutter! I'm hoping to reign in my usage a bit and conserve the film, but hoo the excitement of the photo popping out might make that a little hard...

Oh, ishism people! I'm sorry for not really involving myself, like, at all. I'm gonna have more time on my hands now though, so that casual life documentation shooting will hopefully give way to more creative things. I'm totally going to get involved in the assignments, for real this time. =)
