The Impossible Project (the organization that's bringing Polaroid back from the dead) has scored some sweet billboard space in Times Square, and they want your Polaroid picture to place in it. more ›

Many of you probably have that image of a youthful Farrah Fawcett in a red bathing suit engraved in your memory, but another iconic photograph was taken of her that decade. more ›

Call it a comeback. Following the announcement that Polaroid cameras and film would be gone forever and ever and never return; and following every hipster in town eating up the film on eBay to document their party nights ever-so-nostalgically; and following Urban Outfitters temporarily stocking them... Polaroid is returning! Cameras and film will be on sale by mid-2010, or you can try to buy this special kit on the 16th for the not-so-old-timey price of $430. more ›

Polaroid dead? Not yet! Urban Outfitters has teamed up with The Impossible Project to sell "a limited edition 700 hand-numbered deadstock Polaroid camera kits," which will include the much sought after and nearly extinct Polaroid Instant Film, and the Polaroid ONE600 Classic. These are the last of what's left, and it all goes on sale tomorrow (price is still unknown). The Williamsburgsters are not happy about this. Vintage Polaroid is their thing, Urban Outfitters; you can't just co-opt hipster style and sell it off to the masses. Anyway, one poster says, "I do not think anyone will buy a Polaroid at UO and do anything meaningful with it. There, I said it." Alright, Polaroid is so over, everyone get Lomos now. FML! more ›

New Yorker and Polaroid appreciator, Joe Howansky, has started a project to commemorate the soon-to-be-extinct Polaroid film, while simultaneously connecting with strangers through the medium. He explains:

I will send you a Polaroid of anything anywhere in New York City. I don’t already have these stocked up - each one will be taken just for you. You will have the only copy in the entire world of a picture that was taken by someone else for you and you alone. That means way more than any other medium or method of exchange - there is a solitary, tangible record of a single moment in time shared by two strangers.

Spencer Tunick and a crowd of volunteer naked people brazenly defied the dress code at the Four Seasons restaurant last Saturday for Tunick’s 75th installation documenting the human form in unexpected places. Other New York locations where Tunick's models have gone au naturale include Grand Central Station and Times Square. more ›
