Cure for Polaroid Withdrawl

Although I never owned a Polaroid camera, I like many others felt a stab of regret when Polaroid gave up on its most famous product. Yes, there are some alternatives from Fujifilm, but it's just not the same.
Luckily, The Impossible Project has taken up the mantle of instant analog photography. They've released a type of film called PX100 First Flush, which yields sepia-y monotone prints. Two examples are shown above, and you can see more at their online database.
You can buy the film from their website, a pack for $22, starting March 25 (in two days!). They're also going to release color packs later this year. Yay for analog!

LIFE

One of the perks of being back in the US this week is, as much as I kinda hate to admit it, TELEVISION. I don't have a TV in Berlin and, let's face it, no one does TV like America.
So the other day I'm chillin and watchin Cash Cab (as one does) when I saw an ad for Discovery Channel's latest Planet Earth-like venture, Life.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
I literally stared at the screen with my mouth hanging open in awe.
Too bad I won't be here to watch it. It's gonna be awesome. Check out the trailer below and head over to their YouTube channel for more footage.

Having just watched the 'Telephone' video for the first time, I was reminded of this video of Lady Gaga before she was Lady Gaga, performing at NYU:

An IKEA House

After posting recently about artists inspired by IKEA, I couldn't resist posting on the news that IKEA is soon going to start selling prefabricated houses in Germany. Apparently the houses are made by a company called BoKlok, a collaboration between IKEA and Skansa. They offer apartment buildings or houses that are "light, open, and well laid-out." I guess this was an inevitable next step in the IKEA revolution!

Whats fer bfast

German photographer Oliver Schwarzwald has created a photo series of different national breakfasts, which flavorpill presents as a guessing game--guess the country based on the photo of its breakfast.
If you're wondering why this is worth a post, it's simple: I effin love breakfast.
