The year 2010 begins with two impossible dreams becoming reality.
I've hear of the first one this morning on the BBC:
Geoff Holt is completing his Atlantic Project, sailing from the UK to the carribean, just as he did 25 years ago.
This time he is quadriplegic, and has to control his boat from a wheel chair. He seems to enjoy the experience, as can be seen from his videos on his blog. So -- he's now a "Disability Sport Ambassador.
Of course the other "impossible" project is something I know very well: the rebirth of analogue, instant photography by two crazy persons, a polaroid enthusiast and a former polaroid employee.
The Impossible Project, so called after a saying by the inventor of Instant photography (as well as "polarized" lenses), dr. Edwin Land, who stated "do not undertake a project unless it is manifestly important and nearly impossible".
The team is now ready to launch a b/w film, and later (mid 2010) a color one.
Mr. Land - wherever he is now - can be proud that, after more than half a century, people still dreams his own dreams.
And we can learn from these two persons: not to be scared by any challenge.
Bonne Année 2010!
