AND THE WINNER IS….
Ody and Kila Mae! One of our advent calendar delights was a free SX 70 Gold Edition to one lucky fan. We got more than 1500 comments and after many hours of reading, Impossible Co-founder Dr. Florian Kaps selected Ody and Kila Mae’s submission:
An Impossible Christmas
Dear Santa,
How’s it goin?
Hey it’s only me,
I wrote you a letter
But found something better
It’s an Alpha SX-70!
I’m just writing to tell you
Not to put anything under my tree.
So you can pause
With Mrs. Claus
and relax in luxury.
With this camera I can take photos
or give my little girl a try,
In colours so bright,
Or in black and white,
depending on which film we buy,
We’ll take pictures of the golden star
On top of the Christmas tree,
With a golden Polaroid camera
From the IMPOSSIBLE company.
Seriously Santa,
When was the last time you took a break?
Now is the time
To relax and unwind
So be good for goodness sake.
So take it easy, Santa
and chill out on this Christmas day,
And don’t you fear,
I’ll see you next year
Unless IMPOSSIBLE has another great Give-Away!
Seasons Greetings,
-Ody and Kila Mae
Here are some thoughts from Doc!:
“It’s a very well-written story of truly IMPOSSIBLE lovers, trading all their former wishes and dreams for just one thing: a golden, shining analog instant camera and some Impossible films. This story makes us very very proud as it shows that all the blood, sweat and tears we put into this Impossible adventure has had a very very good reason because the magic of these wonderful miracle called analog instant photography still works. Also I selected this poem as it takes care of another totally overworked and stressed man in this universe: Mr. Santa who, based on this message will also start loving IMPOSSIBLE and hopefully start ordering IMPOSSIBLE products in 2013 (so far he is not yet registered for our newsletters).”
Congratulations to Ody and Kila Mae
