I’m pleased as punch to be featured in the Impossible Project’s newsletter today. The new PX100 UV+ film is for sale, and as an Impossible “Pioneer,” I had an opportunity to test it before it was released.

I’ve been fortunate to test several incarnations of instant film produced by The Impossible Project, and it never gets old. It’s rare in this day and age to have an opportunity to work with a photography process that’s truly experimental, and I’m hyper-aware of how special it is to be trusted with a task like this.
Jake wrote a beautiful summary of the past year of developments (no pun intended) in Impossible films, so I won’t duplicate it here.
