it’s back!
OK, not to say I told you so, but… come on. We all knew it would happen eventually. Polaroid film will be back in to production in 2010 with the help of Urban Outfitters and The Impossible Project. When Polaroid stopped manufacturing instant film in 2008, The Impossible Project bought all the equipment and machinery. This year, Urban Outfitters will release 700 limited edition sets of polaroid cameras and one pack of polaroid film. Next year, they’ll be selling film packs too.
In conjunction with the release of the special edition Polaroid film and camera kits, Gallery Space at Space 15 Twenty in Los Angeles is hosting a month-long group show of Polaroid photography.
Now, would someone please start manufacturing (affordable) gocco supplies?? : )

August 17, 2009 at 5:44 pmHooray! After the responses I kept seeing, I figured they’d have to be crazy to ignore the market for avid Polariod users!

August 17, 2009 at 10:43 pmhow exciting! i had purchased a Polaroid and film to use at my wedding reception a few years back (I’d never had a Polariod growing up). I was really disappointed with the picture quality. I think the film had been sitting there in the drugstore for far too long!

August 18, 2009 at 10:21 amI feel like Urban should jump on the gocco thing, they’re getting super crafty these days. I bet they do it.
