Camera/Photog <3'ers: Polaroid 300!!

Mercury · 07-11-2010, 12:26 PM

I am sooo fucking pleased they didn't kill off polaroid film (fuji?). About $90 to cop one of these bad boys. Ive asked my mom to get it for me for my birthday next month. I understand that digital cameras are more economical (polaroids cost $1 each pic) but the polaroids are sooo much more fun. INSTANT picture = INSTANT gratification. Plus I like the soft focus and white boarders. Great for scrapbooking.

Anyone?

Digital cams aren't instant pictures?

^Not in the traditional sense they aren't.

The image is there, regardless if it's chemically arranged or from an LCD. Plus polaroids smudge quite easily if i recall correctly.

I guess being an avid photoshop hobbyist makes me stubborn about the limitations.

But if that's what you want, who am i to deny it?
