Polaroids: January 2009 Archives

20090128.jpg

A while ago, when I heard about Polaroid discontinuing their analog film, I resolved that I would buy a used Polaroid camera and as much old Polaroid film as I could afford. I didn't have any particular idea in mind for it--I've just been fascinated by Polaroids since small times, and I thought maybe this would be my last chance to shoot Polaroids of my very own. It's something I've always wanted. Maybe it's obsolete in the face of digital photography, but there's still a strange kind of magic to a photograph popping out of the camera and developing right in front of you.

So I will be taking at least one hundred Polaroid photos. Maybe more, if I can get hold of more film, and I'll post them for the lot of you to see. I'm not deluded enough to think this is art, but you know, if it decides to turn into art, I won't object.
