Polaroids. From my childhood memories, I used a Polaroid camera a lot ... and I still refuse to part with my grey and pink (of course its pink) coolcam 600. Because who COULD? Even though film ranges from about $1.25 to $2.00 a picture, there is still something really special about the pictures that come out from a Polaroid camera.Even that white edge around the film is really endearing. Some ways of framing your Polaroid involve cutting of some of the bottom edge to make the picture a perfect square, but I refuse. I love these Polaroids because they aren't in high definition 10 billion megapixel formats.
Do you remember grabbing the Polaroid as it came out of the camera ... shaking the picture even though that does absolutely nothing?
I might be trying to relive my childhood memories by buying all the film I can get my hands on (that won't empty my bank account), but I'm devastated at Polaroid's decision to stop making their film.What's next? Polaroid is developing a high resolution printer (with sticky-back film slightly smaller than the size of a playing deck! iZod came before ipod!) that can connect via bluetooth or USB to your camera or cell phone. Its still not the same.
If Polaroid won't make the film - black market copycats ... where are you?
Its not just a toy, its a generation.
