impossible

Impossible? No, it's defenately not!

"Polaroid" was dead but "The Impossible Project" resurrected instant imaging. Well done! Got my first bunch of images, 8 pictures for about 19€. Tho it's a bit expensive, it is fun and a nice way to take photography to a new level.

The handling of the images is not as easy as I thought. When the picture leaves the camera, you have to immediately shield it from light for a couple of minutes. I didn't really do that, because I didn't know, so the images are kind of overexposured. More about how to handle the new Polaroid films, take a look at "The Impossible Project" Website!

Here are some of my first shots with my new Polaroid 636 camera:

Don't blow your mind with why

Open your mouth wide
The universal sigh
And while the ocean blooms
It's what keeps me alive
So why does it still hurt?
Don't blow your mind with why

I'm moving out of orbit
Turning in somersaults
I dive into those eyes
Jellyfish swim by












Radiohead - Bloom

I think this place is full of spies!

I think this place is full of spies!
I think they're onto me.
Didn't anybody, didn't anybody tell you?

Didn't anybody tell you how to gracefully disappear in a room?












And so and now I'm sorry I missed you.

I had a secret meeting in the basement of my brain.

ici en paris

The first pictures we took in Paris in February this year. Using the Kiev88 and Kodak Tmax400. First time I used the Tmax400. Very harsh contrast, nice tho, when it's cloudy or rainy. It gives the pictures the special 'paris - black and white' look...

The first 3 pictures were taken in Berlin, at my friend's house. He just moved into a new gorgeous old apartment. The last picture was taken in February in Paris! Lovely Art Nouveau building...

Kiev88 | expired Konica Centuria 100 | Push+1 | 06.2010

I found this expired Konica Centuria 100 in my camera backpack. Pretty weird because it was packed in a black and white filmbox. I remember me open it before and then packed it back but I guess I messed it up with the different packings, thats why I didn't want to use it. Well, so this old expired Konica seems to work out well, I love these colors! Had to make a push process because forgot to switch the light meter to 100. Looks cool tho, i like the push+1 films. Already got some nice tones with the pushed Portra nc... .

Unfortunately this was probably the last existing Konica Centuria 100 on earth. Already searched Ebay and other sites to get this film but no chance. Konica sold the recipe to DNP, a japanese manufacturer. Its still available but as far as i've seen only on 35mm :(
