In anyhoos, on the 15th November, Friday, was the launch of INSTANT LAB by Impossible Project Singapore aka Peek! I've never attended such an event because as you would have realised, my life reluctantly revolves around school. So the timing of this event fitted in perfectly. Basically, Instant Lab is a camera device that exposes pictures in your iPhone and transfers it onto an instant film, pretty damn cool yo. Talk about INSTANT gratification!
Here's an example, Izuan took a photo of me at Jo's wedding, and through the Instant Lab, we exposed it onto one of The Impossible Project's (TIP) films:
yeah, the photo was taken in october, but I was all geared up for Movember ;)
How cool is that? I fell in love with the Instant Lab a few months back while doing the collaterals for it during my internship period with Peek!. We all felt that this blurred the lines of instant film photography and phonenography - and that, by my standards, IS REALLY VERY AWESOME.
For the entire event, Peek! had a live exhibition for 3 famous local instagrammers. These instagrammers have a following of few 10ks and counting on Instagram!! And it was ultimately a really interesting experience to meet the people who have been filling your Instagram timeline with more than just pretty pictures. :)
The three of them:
Aik Beng Chia (ABC): @aikbengchia
Bryan Van Der Beek: @bryanvanderbeek
Ivan Kuek: @phonenomenon
Follow them for amazing photos that are aesthetically beautiful and emotive at the same time.
AND THIS, MY DEAR, IS IT:
JENGJENGJENGGGG. The amazing machine of the century - INSTANT LAB!
It's collapsible +1
It exposes your iphone snaps onto a tangible piece of instant film: +1
It's hassle free: +1
It's INSTANT LAB! +10
The event was a success and it was such an eye opener. Most of the people who attended were adults, so it was quite interesting to see adult adults snapping pictures of themselves, laughing and snacking on old school biscuits. And I liked what I saw. :)

So when everyone left, there were still some remaining films that we took advantage of. Hahaha.
Thank you Peek! for the Instant Lab launch, and as well as letting me part of this amazing movement, and also thank you The Impossible Project for allowing the wonders of Polaroid to be continued and share with my generation, and the future generations to come!
