Just when you think film is dead and buried it seems to be rising from the grave. A group working out of the Netherlands has persuaded the Polaroid to relaunch a limited run cameras as they develop prduction of the black and white and color instant camera films.
The Impossible Project group is expecting film to reach the public in mid-2010, plenty of time to dust of those Polaroid cameras and put them back into working shape if you haven't sold them off at a garage sale.
I don't know what I found more weird, the fact that someone fought to bring film back (and instant film to boot) or that film now is called "analog photography."

I wouldn't say that all film is dead and buried. The disposable film camera is still around.
Can't think of why someone would want to bring back Polaroid instant film though. The quality wasn't very good and with the vast selection of digital cameras and portable printers available today, who is gonna spring for a 70's technology Polaroid?
Momma they took away our Kodachrome, the Gold 100/200/400 can't be far behind.
I'll have to pull out my typewriter and send these nice folks a thank you letter for keeping film alive.
