Instant Successes: Farmers' Market

   I have been following The Impossible Project since the beginning, and have been buying their new film as it is developed in order to ensure they have funding for further research.  In general, their films are more unstable than the original Polaroid stuff, but I definitely have to hand it to them.  They are always trying new things, always improving, and they always own up to their mistakes.  The other thing I love is that they do not seem to be very wasteful.  Even their flawed film gets sold in reduced price "as is" packs.  I snap these up when I get the chance because you never know what you're going to get!  Here is a picture I took of some squash in the Capitol Hill farmers' market last summer.  The top has faded out into an orange cloud, and the photo has turned pretty orange in general, but it's a great testament to the mysterious qualities the film can have.

     I can assure you, if I had some extra money I would be snagging some of the new gold frame film...
