I have always loved Polaroid. I stumbled across this site this afternoon… nice to see instant film again… makes me want to break out my SX-70! Click on the link to check it out.
I’m back from an amazing photographic trip to Italy and I am getting my fingers ready for a busy few weeks of posts here on FR so stay tuned!

You knew all along that your comments count… but NOW, here at the world headquarters of the FR we’ve come up with a unique way to show it…
(drum roll please)…the Offical Figital Revolution Hat! This hat is very high quality, is custom embroidered, and IT IS NOT FOR SALE!
That’s right! The only way to get one is directly from Our Fearless Leader (you know- me) so bring on your comments and article suggestions. I will select comrades who post great, interesting, dialogue- inspiring thoughts and ideas to be recipients of this great and noble honor… And hey, in all seriousness, it is a nice hat!

I’ve just started a user driven reference to different color films and their properties processed in C41 or XPRO (slide films processed in C41). Consider using this list to determine the proper color film for your photographic needs.
Do you have information on films you’ve tested? Consider sharing your knowledge here with your photographic comrades. The equation is simple…more photographers shooting film = a longer life for film!
Viva la Revolution!
I’m planning on adding ocassional posts this next year of books, audio and video which I feel my fellow figital photographers might find useful. Here are my first two suggestions:
Till The Cows Come Home by Dan Nelken
I’ve known Dan Nelken for several years both as a photographer and as an artist we represented at Indian Hill Gallery. His new book, Till The Cows Come Home features images from his long-running documentation of the rural American county fair, and is a fantastic and beautiful find in the often uninspiring world of photographic book publishing. One version of this body of work constituted a very popular show held here at Indian Hill Gallery back in 2003-you know, waaaay back when! Eve and I are delighted to see this deserving body of work in print. Congratulations Dan!!
How Art Made the World: The Epic Story of How Humans Made Art and Art Made Us Human – NIGEL SPIVEY
An amazing TV series currently running on PBS…a must watch. Each episode is a fascinating look at Art throughout history and its importance to the development of the human being. LIFE=ART, ART=LIFE!
