If you know us, you know we love instant film. A lot. So, when we heard Impossible Project would be releasing two new & improved instant films, we jumped at the chance to give ‘em a whirl. First we met PX 680: A film that produces beautifully saturated prints that practically ooze with color. Second, Black Frame PX 600 silver shade: A black and white film with sleek black frames for a classic, gallery-ready look. Both films are so easy to use and versatile, your camera might write you a love letter for feeding it so well. Plus: While experimenting, we found a technique that’ll let you transform your new black frame images into photo transparencies! It’s simple, fun, and takes less than five minutes. We were so impressed with the results, we had to share. How-To: Make Instant Transparencies |

Marsupials are jerks.* Look at ‘em, with their beady little eyes, lording it over us because they’ve got pouches. “Look at us,” they say, “our young don’t even have to walk because we’ve got these rad pouches.” We found the cure to pouch envy. It’s an amazing way to turn photos into pouches. All you need is some easy-to-find photo fabric and some glue: you don’t even need to sew. These are just like the pouches you see in hip shops that look like cassette tapes, tacos or PB&J sandwiches. You can make your pouch look like any object you can find! Now we can carry anything: cameras, credit cards, spare batteries, tiny fetal marsupials…Take that, smug koalas of the world. How To Make a Pouch That Looks Like Anything p.s. Facebook called.
