Another favorite. Blown away by the colors in this Polaroid.

Some day I will do hi-res scans of my 150 or so Polaroids. Plus my Fuji Instamatics!

Over the past year? Maybe less. I got the Polaroid sometime early last year and then the Fuji Instamatic in the fall. A girl I know just loaned me an old Minolta with a couple lenses so I want to play with that next!

They aren't unfortunately. It's very expensive. About $50 for 10 Polaroids. If you shoot 10 but only like 2 of them that's like $25 a photo LOL

is there something about polaroids that you prefer then? why not just do digital like everybody else?

Oh I do digital too. But Polaroids are so immediate. They are spontaneous and you don't have as much control (though given time I bet I will), plus I like the colors!

hm ok. i just remember my grandfather has a whole book full of faded old polaroids from like the 60s and 70s when my dad was a kid and the pics look like crap now. at least with digital you can always print them over and they will never ever change.

LOL well over time and not storing them properly they will fade. All photos will. But if you are creative and think about them you can do really cool stuff with them. I have some Polaroids I have shot that I just love!

well thats cool. everybody likes different things, and that's probably just as well. if everybody liked the same things there'd be like 300 girls at my school that dressed just like me
