First off, let me say that I have a lot of respect for The Impossible Project - the team that went out and revitalized Polaroid film into a viable, purchasable, thing. It truly was a seemingly impossible feat. Now they're looking to conquer a new goal with their Impossible Instant Lab, a device that turns digital images into analog photos. I could not help but laugh heartily when seeing this - it's absurd, right? It's a faux vintage camera taking photos of a digital camera. It's like a joke come to real life.

All that being said, I think there's some legitimate merit to having a way to quickly print your digital photos in a familiar and enjoyable format. I also believe the technology behind all this is incredibly solid, I'm just having a hard time with the execution. I've no doubt that their Kickstarter will find its funding but I mostly hope it creates a trickle down into another device that doesn't seem quite so silly at first glance.
