A treat for myself this tax season. I've been eying the Instax cameras for ages since I could not find film for our old Polaroid. I finally pulled the trigger and splurged on a camera, film and a couple of stickers. The end result is below:
I love how these pictures remind me of the 70's. We have a few Polaroids from that era and I enjoy looking at them. The Polaroid-type photos to me feels like you stole a bit of time and froze it. I am sure that's the whole premise of any type of photography but the charm of of instant is you see it slowly developing in your hands. It was like magic!
I wanted to relive that again then Polaroid pulled the rug from under me and decided to stop production of the film. Long story short, Polaroid came back as a bastardized Fuji. I've looked around on the net and the film for the re-branded Polaroid will fit an instax so it's a matter of finding a good price for bulk film. It just sucks that the classic size Polaroid is no more.
Despite all that, the end results gives me these awesome, one-of-a-kind photos. Smaller in size but they still have that charm of slowly developing in your hands. Like magic.
