The Art and Science of the Nearly Impossible (via df)

Land gave the project to build the world’s first instant camera [the Model 95] the code  name SX-70, indicating that it was his seventieth special experiment.

That’s awesome. (:

I’m still working out a work flow, if you will, for dealing with & containing prints from the 330.
They’re all sticky when you first unpeel them, so no touchies! And that’s fine, but when you get on a roll (heh) shooting with it…what to do? I can’t pop them straight into my little notebook: they’ll stick to the pages (learned that lesson quickly). I’ve taken to carrying them for a few minutes to dry, but holding 3 and pulling more from the camera, it gets cumbersome. I’ll figure something out! (The cold clip you see is excellent, but only once the prints are dry.)
