This week I took some time out to test the latest colour film from the Impossible Project, and as you can see, it’s not too shabby! Their PX680 film is designed for 600 and 680 cameras, but I tested it in my SX-70 and it responded very much like the original Polaroid 600 film. The guys at TIP say the white speckles will be gone in the final version of the film, although i personally find them rather charming. The colours are SO MUCH better than the previous films they’ve produced. The team have made such incredible progress in just a year, it makes me excited to see where they’ll be in 2012 when our Polaroid book comes out — can you imagine it? You’ll be able to buy the book AND invest in a couple of packs of really fantastic TIP film to practice with! Jen, Amanda and I have been toying with the idea of leading a Polaroid retreat next year — would anyone be interested in joining us for that? We’d hold it somewhere lovely (thinking USA or Morocco) and we’d share how we take our shots and practice the art of Polaroid photography — it’ll be like the book coming to life before your very eyes. ;)
I wish they would release two “editions” of the film, those specked are one of my favorite parts of the film! They add so much character (and romance!), but I could see how people would want the film without (sob).
Anyway, these images are great. I’m really looking forward to the book, and I’d love to attend the retreat (I love how I’m acting like it’s already official), I hope you decide on the US :)

A polaroid retreat would be wonderful. Have it somewhere exotic with lots of colors.
Wow, Morocco would be amazing! I would come for sure.
I eventually want to try the new 680 film ~ tis sold out over here right now. The colors look great: like the 600 but enhanced. I love the teals. :)

I’d be first in line for an in-person polaroid retreat with you, Jen, and Amanda. *love* Maybe an excuse for you to get back to NYC!! Love these test shots. Are you using a filter or just darkening on your dial? xoxo
