It is Impossible. The Impossible Project started in 2008 when Forian Kaps meets André Bosman at the closing event of the Polaroid factory in Enschede, Netherlands then they decided not to accept the extinction of analog instant photography but to start The Impossible Project.

Here comes the impossible project. Silver shade and color shade, Impossible's products range from silver film format to monochrome and colored films and they are still improving them up till today. Don't ever think that your Polaroid cameras are useless in this generation! Check these sample pictures out:

Sigur Rós is Victory Rose



Restless making music, now they are back after a short break. Sigur Rós, the famous Icelandic classical post-rock band has been making a lot of good music since 90s. Jón Þór Birgisson (Jónsi), lead singer of the band is the limelight, his endearing voice can really touch your soul. Their music is mind blowing, melancholic, emotional, melodic, hypnotizing and amazingly they stand out as an anomaly, and that's exactly why their music outshines anything that tries to come close. Check out some of their music from different albums here:




 

Sigur Rós has recorded a total of five albums, which include Von (1997), Ágætis byrjun (1999), ( )  (2002), Takk... (2005), Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust (2008). They also recently toured with Ólafur Arnalds, one of our previous "Music on Saturdays" reviews. What can I say? The Icelandics' got the talent! For more ideas about Sigur Rós, please log on to their Official Website. Till then!


Have a lovely weekend!
