Lina Scheynius is one of the most emotionally intimate photographers we’ve covered, and she’s taking the pending extinction of Polaroid film hard. Her Polariod100 project is a chance to get some closure by selling her collection of 100 pictures from this past year. The price is a little steep at â‚100 a photo, but hey, it’s an original. Scheynius is releasing all 100 photographs in four parts. Parts one and two are viewable now, three and four are on their way. If anything, it’s a chance to take another look at even more of her work in between her flickr updates and promises of a new book (stay tuned).

Polaroid is NO longer pending extinction; it has been saved!

A group of ex-Polaroid chemists and manufacturing specialists bought Polaroid’s old factory and equipment and will start production of new and improved integral film which will be available in early 2010! – http://www.the-impossible-project.com/

In the meantime, if you’re looking for film, it IS still out there at affordable pricing. I’ve gotten my supply from http://www.adessoalbums.com, who is currently offering a “Buy two, get the third FREE” sale on Polaroid 600 film!
