Last month I enjoyed a tour of the impossible project’s factory in enschede, where they manufacture all of their instant films. These are picturs I took on the tour.

hello world April 20, 2011

World, meet kondens.at. Here you may find photographs of interest which will be published with varying frequency, on varying topics, from varying people using whatever gear they like. For now, the infrastructure still has some quirks, but expect things to shape up over the next weeks.
