the IMPOSSIBLE project
“As the last quantities of carefully stored original Polaroid films are currently melting like snow in the sun, it is about time to introduce a new chapter of analog Instant Photography. To begin with, please make yourself comfortable at our new Impossible shop and update your bookmarks. In the meantime, we are preparing everything for the Impossible.” Stoked.

Vans and the places where they were.
“Over the course of the project the vans themselves have become more and more of a rarity. The reasons are as simple as rust and changing tastes; and as complex as government “cash for clunkers” initiatives encouraging more fuel-efficient transportation. Notably, at the same time these vans have been disappearing from our roads – film photography as a visual medium has also begun it’s slow death. Consequently the goal of the project is to one day shoot the last remaining van on the final frame of photographic film in existence. Then the project will be finished.” Epic.

LumaLoop
Looks like a fantastic new strap by James Duncan Davidson and Greg Koenig. I’ve always been frustrated with my camera strap not really working well as a neck/shoulder/messenger strap. This looks to be an ideal solution although isn’t quite as sexy as these High Key camera straps.

D90 D-MOVIE sample footage
I don’t think I can get more excited for this camera than I already am. I love how a few of the shots are taken right by my place at Gasworks park here in Seattle too. That quality looks phenomenal.

PhotoCalc -- The Photographer's Calculator Application for iPhone and iPod touch
“PhotoCalc offers handy calculations for professional or hobbyist photographers working in the studio or in the field. PhotoCalc provides exposure reciprocation, depth of field and hyper-focal distance calculations, and flash exposure calculations.” I’m still not quite “there yet” for this level of calculating but it looks really interesting. I’m saving this for future reference if/when I get hardcore enough to warrant it.

Community: From Little Things, Big Things Grow
A fantastic article from George Oates, one of the designers at Flickr. There’s too many quotes in there to choose just one, but it got me thinking about community design in a slightly different way.

re:vision
“re:vision is the product of Craig Arnold’s unbridled passion for cameras, recycling and polishing.” Yeah, I totally want one even if I’d be declaring my camera geekiness on my wrist.

“How a camera attached to an elephant’s trunk captured amazing jungle views.” I just hope the elephant was annoyed with that huge camera hanging from its tusk.
