Photography wonks surely know all about The Impossible Project — that's the company that was founded back in 2008 when Polaroid announced they'd no longer be producing film for their analog cameras. Impossible swooped in and bought Polaroid's production machinery, and now they're the only ones in the world making film for 600, SX70 and Spectra/Image cameras.
Well get a load of this: The Impossible Project and Jack White's Third Man Records are teaming up to produce a limited-edition run of instant film that, in characteristic Third Man fashion, will develop in black-and-yellow. See all the details at TMR's site.
To celebrate and launch the b&y film line, Third Man will host an exhibit featuring some photographs produced using their film in their Blue Room. The exhibit will feature work by Patrick Pantano (who shot The White Stripes' White Blood Cells and Elephant album covers), David Swanson (White's road photographer, who shot the slick cover image for the Scene back when JW spoke with yours truly), and Angelina Castillo (a TMR employee who happens to shoot freelance for the Scene on occasion).
The opening reception for the exhibit will go down Thursday, Sept. 10, from 7 to 9 p.m., and the work will be on display until Sept. 16 during Third Man's usual business hours.
