‘Part of the reason I did the project was because I was a bit hacked off with the likes of Instagram, where as actually here is the real deal,’ Jon Nicholson

I love it when you accidentally stumble across something very inspirational when doing a random internet search! These beautiful wistful Polaroid scenes caught my eye and are the work of Jon Nicholson. The official behind-the-scenes photographer for last summers Olympic Games is best known for his Formula One racing coverage. He spent 18 months documenting seaside resorts across the country with a 1970s Polaroid camera and snapped up the last of Britain's 100 boxes of SX-70 Artistic Z Film. For Nicholson, the three years out of date film was perfect to record the British seaside with it's hued quality, which successfully evokes childhood memories by the sea.

Seaside Polaroids (Prestel, £19.99) by Jon Nicholson is out now and is available from amazon.co.uk 

LOVE MY POLAROID OF THE WEEK - RHIANNON ADAM

"Dreamlands, Wastelands" - Polaroid emulsion lift on paper 2013  © Rhiannon Adam

These pieces echo life experience, where one journey leads to another, and experiences are interconnected. The fluidity and delicacy of the process mirrors the fragility of memories, and how these can be altered by outside influences. - Rhiannon Adam on her series of large-scale Polaroid emulsion lift composite works.

This amazing Margate/Arlington Polaroid emulsion lift composite piece caught my eye yesterday. It's the work of London Polaroid Photographer/curator Rhiannon Adam. Originally hailing from Co. Cork, Ireland, she has been taking Polaroids for over ten years. Rhiannon shoots with expired Polaroid films and Impossible Project materials. Her work is regularly featured and published in high profile publications like COLORS, Dazed & Confused, Bonjour Pola and Shot of The Day Book. More recently she has been working on a series of large-scale Polaroid emulsion lifts like the above Margate/Arlington masterpiece. Rhiannon also runs workshops on her emulsion lift techniques and can be contacted for bookings and requests via her website. Check out more of her great Polaroid work on flickr and facebook.

LOVE POLAROID CLASSIC FACTORY JACKET WHITE

Loving this Special White Edition of the legendary Polaroid Factory Jacket. The latest addition to Impossible Project's Polaroid Classic line of accessories! The jackets (along with the black editions released end of last year) were originally worn by the Polaroid staff during the 70s and 80s. It's a vintage sporty piece but yet elegant design that features the Polaroid logo above the legendary Polaroid rainbow stripe emblazoned across the chest of the jacket. You can pick up one of these special pieces of fashion for a very limited time at The Impossible Project or Polaroid Store for around £61.00/$84.99.
