Welcome to the future of Polaroid film - Tech | thevine.com.au

REJOICE! Because what was old is new again.

That's right, our good ol' friend Polaroid - the one we all thought had left us forevermore - is officially back and (quite possibly) better than ever.

The brand that pioneered polarized lenses and instant photography is not only set to return in 2010 but looks set to extend into an array of innovative, digital instant products too.

Here's the deal:

The brand's famous format has been given a second life by the folks at Summit Global, who not only have plans to re-launched the instant film, but have also announced a product line expansion into digital formats in an attempt to introduce the Polaroid brand to younger consumers.

"[It] will span a family of products and return Polaroid to a relevant industry participant” they have declared.

They plan to reconnect consumers to the "very soul of the Polaroid brand through the re-launch of instant photography" which will, conveniently, stimulate growth opportunities and allow them to diversify into exciting "relevant new product categories".

A full range of instant digital products are being planned for the marketplace. In addition to the Polaroid PoGoTM Instant Digital Printer, (which uses inkless printing technology all while fitting in to the palm of your hand) there is also the Polaroid "Two". The Two is the digital version of the traditional camera that will produce instant digital photos along with the Instant Digital Camera, which will produce 4" x 3" instant digital photos. Technology you are a cheeky minx, aren't you?

The future starts from... Now*.

*Actually, it starts in 2010.

Taryn Simon photographs secret sites

Pretty amazing documentary photographer. Towards the end of this video Taryn talks about her project of shooting men convicted of crimes that they never committed. They all exonerated in the end but some had served more than 16yrs of their death sent...ence. The interesting thing about these photographs is that she would shoot them at places of significance that led to these men' conviction - place of arrest, place of alibi (which 13 people saw him), place where crime took place (which they had never been before) - all places which changed their lives forever....

Goodbye Melbourne, Hello New York.


I've created a daily photo blog that documents my experiences and journey in NYC. It's not your typical tourist photo gallery with typical landmark sights. The photos all reflect everyday NYC life and culture seen through the eyes of an Aussie foreigner.

I hope you will subscribe/bookmark/RSS and follow this blog as I have some really interesting content and will continually add to it on a daily basis.
