...deserves much more attention!

^ Thank you very much for your appreciation. I believe in art and photography as a way for elaborating beautiful things, but most of the time they work as tools for helping other people to gain awareness on how reality works. I wish other "outsiders" of the impossible-project can join to this initiative and I encourage them to voice themselves. |

Just to set matters straight: I'm fully one with you!
I've fallen into same contradiction (negation of customer loyalty) few month ago: living in Rome it's usually more convenient for me too, to buy Impossible films at a local Impossible dealer downtown, instead to pay for extra shipping cost; I've also pointed out this nonsense at Impossible Customer Service trying to solve my dilemma - which option is the most convenient to me: pay shipping to get Pioneer points or directly pick-up merchandise at Ars-Imago shop in Rome? I think there are grounds to interpellate Tim Harford, the senior columnist for the Financial Times.

You said:
Fanaticism is something really useful for religions and companies. I guess that's due to economical reasons in both cases.

^ Yes, it has no sense that you can´t be part of the program just because you buy TIP film in your local dealer. |

Agree totally edulterado, and great shots! While we now have an Australian store it is WAY too expensive to purchase from even with the lower shipping due to 3rd party logistics. One 'mock' order was going to cost and extra 260$ for identical products. I have worked my way around it though ;-P...
|
^ It´s very sad to hear those things. It seems that Impossible turns out really impossible in so many ways... |

Can you get TIP to organise a local supplier in Spain? In Australia and New Zealand we had to pay a flat fee for postage of US$50 (even for one box of film) but now it's changed because they found someone local. Congrats on your shot though : )
|
^ Thank you Rachel. The point is that although I can buy film in a local supplier in Barcelona, it doesn't count for joining to the Card Program. Actually the only way for joining to it is buying in the TIP website or in the impossible stores at Vienna, New York and Tokyo. Honestly, I prefer shooting with the film rather than being able to join to the program which is something really dummy to some extent. I have just used that little "impossible" story for making a "poeme-objet" :) |

hiihhihi great !!! 100 contre 1

^ Thank you, lhirondelle. I do really enjoy shooting with TIP film and I think it's gorgeous, but that is not stopping me from developing a critical point of view about the project, specially when it comes to makerting strategies for mass presenting the product. This petit poème-objet is kinda light, but I have to confess that my favorite one of the serie is "Peel-to-fuck" :) |
