FINALLY!  The Impossible Project is testing out a new line of film, the PX-680, a colour shade film compatible with Polaroid 600 models!  Just look at these colours in these test shots:

Have a look at their flickr pool and be amazed like I am.  I, for one, cannot wait until the film's release!  Long live instant film!

I am a big fan of Wong Kar Wai, and one of my favorite films of all time is Chungking Express.  That's why I'm absolutely ecstatic about this:  A Tribute to Chungking Express by Yi-jin Hsieh.  Embedding is disabled so just trust me - these series of photos is amazing. I think Wong Kar Wai will be very proud.  Here are some of my favorite stills from the film.  The second one is my absolute favorite.

Here is a flickr set that provides me inspiration and the desire to be a better person... in conjunction with my love for polaroids and my want to start scrap-booking :)

The 365 Grateful Project by photographer Hailey Bartholomew.

come take a look at the rest of the project, and her other photos.  Aren't they lovely?  I definitely want to do something similar to this, hopefully sooner than later.

Now tell me, are you inspired yet?

I love Carol Lin's flickr photostream, and I'm crushing on her photos lately, most especially the ones taken with the Golden Half camera.  I keep browsing her sets these past few days and I have the urge to click that star on top of the photos everytime.  Here are some I've favorited:















I think most of these photos were taken in Tokyo, but I do think she's from Taiwan.  I just love almost everything she's shot.  They're all so natural and have a certain energy.  She's also a blogger, which makes me hope I can read Chinese.  Isn't that awesome?  Without the photos, I wouldn't have appreciated her much given the language barrier, but the photos do speak for themselves.  I love that about photography. :)

Edit:  from Carol Lin via flickr mail:
 "I live in Taiwan, just traveling often. Those photos in your entry are not all taken in Tokyo, some are in Taipei."
