In case you haven't yet heard the news, instant film is officially back. Thanks to an incredibly devoted group of folks behind The Impossible Project, instant film lovers everywhere (myself included) have reason to celebrate. On March 22nd, at a press conference at the International Center of Photography in New York, The Impossible Project unveiled its first analog instant film for use with traditional Polaroid cameras: the PX100 and PX600 silver shade. And let me tell you, it has the world of instant film lovers buzzing. 40 photographers were invited to test the new film thus forming the base of The Impossible Collection. Here are a few images that are totally whetting my instant film-loving appetite:

PX100 silver shade film (developed specifically for the Polaroid SX-70) goes on sale today and will ship next month. PX600 silver shade film (developed for the One Step Polaroid camera) goes on sale soon. And instant color film is coming this summer! It's a new era, folks. It's enough to make an instant film lover cry happy tears of joy.
