Together with the hundreds of Polaroid instant camera lovers and enthusiasts, I mourned the company's decision in February 2009 to discontinue making the iconic film. But thanks to Austrian artist and businessman, Florian Kaps, Polaroid enthusiasts have now something to smile about. Kaps heads The Impossible Project which is composed of individuals who aim to re-start the production of film for vintage Polaroid cameras. He has reopened the Polaroid production plant in Amsterdam and began working in manufacturing the film again, together with 11 of the original Polaroid team from the factory floor.
Just last March 25, Kaps and his team's efforts have paid off with the first film becoming available for sale. Meet the new PX monochrome instant film.
This film is compatible with the SX-70 camera. Isn't she a beauty?
Here's a collection of awesome Polaroid pictures from The Impossible Project. Follow The Impossible Project on Facebook for more info.
