We have opened a new shop! It is online at shop.lightleaks.org. New, used, exotic, and rare cameras - as well as film and accessories - all you could possibly need for all your toy and low-fi photographic supplies! Lots of inventory now, and lots more to come!

From http://www.the-impossible-project.com/:

We are pleased to herewith announce a history making cooperation between Polaroid and The Impossible Project:

As we have created quite some buzz about Analog Instant Photography over the past 12 months, the Polaroid licensee - The Summit Global Group - now can't resist any longer and announced at a press conference on October 13th in Hongkong that they will re-launch some of the most famous Polaroid Instant Cameras.

Therefore they are commissioning The Impossible Project to develop and produce a limited edition of Polaroid branded Instant Films in the middle of 2010.

The Impossible Project is proud and excited that its ambitions and all the relentless work that has already been invested are now becoming the foundation for Polaroid's comeback as a producer of Instant Cameras.

Large-scale production and worldwide sale of The Impossible Project's new integral film materials under its own brand will already start in the beginning of 2010 - with a brand new and astonishing black and white Instant Film and the first colour films to follow in the course of the year.

The Book Team, formed on toycamera.com to create the next toy camera book, is pleased to announce our first call for entries!  We have finally worked out the basic format and goal of the book.  Our plan is to create a book that looks at what all of you are doing with your toy cameras today.  To that end our format will include a mix of one-on-one interviews with some of you.  The second part of the book will be galleries of images much like Light Leaks magazine.  We will roll out a series of themes aimed at giving everyone a chance to submit images and get accepted to the book.  This book is open to anyone who wants to contribute; the only limit is that all images must be made with a toy camera.  For more information please check out our website:
