...which I am now reliably informed is not a new product, even though it's only a concept! This silicon film was premiered back in 2001. Thanks to @alkchan.

RE-35 | Digital cartridges for analog 35-mm cameras
If only this was true. Got duped this morning by a late April fools. Flexible 35mm digital sensors for old film cameras.

Revolog — special effects 35mm
Film with light leaks, textures, colours and more already built into each frame. Interesting idea. I guess it would technically give you lomo-style shots even if you were using a 'perfect' camera.

The birth of Instant Photography (or, how humans react to technology)
In this video on the birth of instant photography, there’s a short piece of archive footage from the 1950s that shows partygoers gathering round the back of the first Polaroid Land camera to see the picture develop, and they have the same expressions that we use nowadays while gaggling around a digital camera’s LCD screen. Touching little echo which makes instant photography all the more endearing. http://videos.howstuffworks.com/discovery/29594-invention-the-first-polaroid-camera-video.htm

Orangette: food photography using film
I was originally into this blog about a year ago, then restumbled across a group of old bookmarks in my browser and rediscovered it. In her FAQ she says she's shooting everything on film after falling back in love with the format (sounds familiar!) and some of these, though they look a little Poladroidy to my admittedly untrained eye, are simply stunning.
But the cost, the cost! Yeouch. As much as I would adore to shoot all my food work on Polaroid, thanks to the cost of a pack I would have to remortgage the cottage to do so. Fingers crossed that the Impossible Project brings out something cheap for my SX-70 in a few months' time..
Beautiful writing and blog though, worth poking around in.

Cameras made from film
So, with these cameras made from photographic paper, the camera IS the photograph?
My brain hurts. This is just fantastic.

Scanning for Sprockets
An excellent guide to scanning in 35mm negatives and keeping sprocket holes. I always wondered about how people did that. Looks like I need to get myself a scanner...
