Call me a sap, but this news seriously gives me the goosebumps.

Who cares about the hipsters!? My grandmother will be so happy! She uses hers for absolutely everything.

Colour and black & white for both SX-70s and 600s? Oh my god. This is the best news in ages.

“The project is more than a business plan; it’s a fight against the idea that everything has to die when it doesn’t create turnover,” said Mr Kaps.

Thank frickity-frick. Polaroid film was getting ridiculously exxy on ebay. Ps. is it sad that I’m getting most, if not all, my polaroid related news from Tumblr?

Off to Melbs tomorrow morning kids….

… wish me luck! And if you have any suggestions for my 3 day sojourn, hit me up on twitter, tumblr or leave a comment!

Spend a morning in Fitzroy and Collingwood. Breakfast at Marios on Brunswick st, followed by a browse in Brunswick St books a couple of doors down. Then walk up Johnston st (a bit boring), along Smith st (op shops, jumble, vintage) and down Gertrude St (vintage, fashion, coffee)- and catch the 86 back into the city!

I’m taking somthingchanged’s advice - I’m hitting up Fitzroy tomorrow, despite the horrid weather!

Hey! All you hipster kids and your fedoras…

Before all the “jaunty fedora/panama hat clad” celebs and hipsters….

.. there was Joey Jeremiah.

Respect people.

Aside: Is it just me, or do the old episodes of Degrassi kinda remind you of an American Apparel store/catalog.. or should that be the other way around?

Polaroid PoGo Instant Digital Camera via Cool Hunting

Hmm. Not sure what to make of this.

Pfft, Polaroid should go back to making the old school instamatic film (particularly because I own one, and am not interested in investing money to reinvent the wheel again)

“

Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of eternal passion. That is just being in love, which any fool can do. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Those that truly love have roots that grow towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossoms have fallen from their branches, they find that they are one tree and not two.

The reason why the Obama’s can’t stay at The White House guest house: John Howard.

Bloomberg journalist Margaret Carlson revealed that when the White House turned down Obama’s request in early December, it had not yet even invited Howard to stay at the Blair House:
I reported… on December 11 and 12 that there were no foreign dignitaries booked into Blair House during that period of time… I have the feeling they asked him [Howard] to come and stay so that there might be some plausible reason for not letting the Obamas stay there.

you guys, i was shooting my friend’s show at the hopetoun tonight, and it was really lonely! i introduced myself to the guy with the 5d who was shooting next to me for most of it, but he was a little bit of a douche, and i was all “;______; I MISS CANBERRA”

(also, the hopetoun is epically dark, so even with my snazzy new lens, i got like, one good picture. all in all, i probably should have just done more than two tequila shots, called it a bust and sat back down with my non-photographer friends, but w/es.)

if he was asian, it was probably Spinalfaun from FasterLouder… I don’t know his real name. I think he was scared of me when i said HI! cause we had the same FL shirt on at Come Together last year.

lol no, not asian. his name’s zac? idk if he shoots for anything, we didn’t really talk for too long, but he took a really horrible photo of me and was all “i always take photos of other snappers, AND THEN I HANG THEM ON MY WALL HAHAHAHA” and i was like “lol yr a bit creepy dude”

Spiralfaun’s name is Ashley/Ash, and srsly, if you’re not going to take lots of photos with your 1.2 then I’ll take it kthx.

I don’t think it’s Spinalfaun/Ashley/Ash. He once used a Canon, now he’s moved onto the Nikons.

He ain’t no douche either, he’s a top bloke.

“Twilight — Dear Fat Girls of America…”

orbiting:

“Twilight — Dear Fat Girls of America, I know times are tough. I know how it feels to be overweight, and unpopular, to feel that no one really understands you and to wallow away at night, lying in your big bed, snacking and wishing there was an effeminate vampire boy-child to come steal you away and show you how shiny he looks in the sunlight. (I don’t). But this is not the answer. I say it again, ma’am: THIS IS NOT THE ANSWER. I know it’s too late to stop this train, but let us all agree that the Twilight books make Harry Potter look like Proust. And even worse, the Twilight film makes Disaster Movie look like The Leopard.”

“

Education is worth pursuing in its own right, (it) offers considerable intrinsic non-pecuniary benefits. When we lose sight of those intrinsic benefits - knowledge for its own sake - we get muddled between means and ends. The irony is that when we allow ourselves to view higher education as little more than better meal ticket, we impoverish ourselves.
