Impossible Instant Lab
Last week, The Impossible Project launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund the creation of a printer that prints images directly from your iPhone’s screen to Impossible Project film, resulting in true analog instant prints of your digital images.

Mobile Photography
With many new generation cell phones having an integrated digital camera, photography is becoming more and more accessible. Phone cameras are far from advanced, but they can produce some impressive results, despite their size and limited capabilities.
