I don’t talk about gear all that much, but this one goes out to you camera geeks and gearheads. So many of you have been asking about the array of cameras I’m shooting while living in NYC (and somewhat in line with yesterday’s post) we decided to whip up a quick Chase Jarvis TECH video to run you through them. Ten formats in all, from top of the line Nikons, to old Polaroids, even some vintage stuff from the 1950’s. Check it.
[And, as you might imagine, I’m burning through a bunch film while I’m experimenting with all these toys during Dasein: Invitation To Hang. As such I want to say huge thanks to B&H, Polaroid, Fuji, and the Impossible Project for backing me with film for this adventure. You can pickup any/all the tasty films I mention in the vid here from B&H, except for The Impossible Project stuff, which is best to get here…and, update, is made in the Netherlands, correction from what I said in the vid 😉 ]
On the location of the Impossible project: that’s in Enschede, The Netherlands, not quite Eastern Europe. Close, but no sigar! 😉
You can see a tour of the factory here: http://dfpro.nl/artikel/2333214/film-impossible-|-het-tweede-leven-van-instant-film (sorry, it’s in Dutch only)
yes, but the project is based in Austria… in any case the Impossible Project team is doing good work. I just wished they would change their mind and work on the peel-apart (other than large format) film.
great link. thx for the reminder. i corrected the my video mistake in the text below the video.
🙂
By the way the video has been updated with English subtitles!
I think you’ve got the Polaroid angle covered Chase!
D3, ‘Blad and X-100 is all I would need out of that lot, personally.
How about displaying all this gear at the gallery too…sometime! ? (or) Do we ever get to see all this gear in person? (#hope)
Best,
Abhi.
if it’s on display in the gallery how can i be out shooting? 😉
The Impossible Project factory is located at Enschede, The Netherlands. And nice to see you have much fun with the old Polaroids.
Rene
