Impossible Black & White
This is certainly a milestone release from The Impossible Project Tokyo (way to go Japan!). PX 600 Silver Shade UV+ BLACK FRAME edition and GREY FRAME edition is now available at all city'super and LOG-ON (except city'super IFC).
For months I kept the excitement and my mouth shut until the above POP arrived us for in-store usage, I was deeply thankful for Impossible Tokyo's support, you can see the details they crafted into the decoration, and I hate to say that I had to take the above photo offline after a few hours of posting it, because it hinted these two B&W treasures before their time to be known. For this, I apologize to TIP.
Now back in the end of January when I was in Tokyo visiting TIP gallery store with Mijonju, Impossible Tokyo mastermind Jun Akaike showed us what were to come and we were speechless. A PX 600 film in high contrast black and white wrapped with a very cool black frame!
Just don't mind the "mushroom" and "loose lamination problem" you see in these prototype films, coz they won't happen in the production versions. The images this film produces are simply stunning, comparing to the previous TIP films. They also brought back the familiar 600 film image softness and your excitement when the film is developed.
Check out this flickr set to see more images and the photo of the Tokyo gallery store. I shall be shooting these films in a few hours myself, will be exciting to share.

Last Sunday was Film Photography Day, at least according to the Lomography website, so Andi and I went down to the local Audubon Center to shoot some film. I made this shot with my Canon QL17 and Ilford HP5+ developed in HC-110 and scanned with a CanoScan FS2710. I did the final processing, which consisted of only some slight level adjustments, in Lightroom.
