....and how much fun is it??? :)
Hello,
Just thought I share with you just how much fun I'm having with a very shonky Polaroid Land Camera and a stack of Polapan film.
It's like I've just discovered alchemy!
Been photographing things for about 15 years but nothing's as much fun a the single opportunity of making a snap (and that's all they are) and peeling the paper apart to see an instant unique thing.
Is it just me? Is this a very early mid-life crisis?
I'm not going to get all lardy-dar now but it seems to be more, well, historical. That moment has passed - this print is all that's left of it. No negative, no digital file. If the print gets lost then the whole image is gone forever.
That's a bit waffly isn't it?
Just thought I'd share my ramblings! Feel free to ramble back.
Very grateful to the eBay sellers of the Polariod and the Polapan.

Damn! My secret is out... Fun for sure eh! You'll start thinking in 90-second development intervals next.

i have to leave my polaroids at home sometimes, or my film cameras won't get used. nothing like instant fun.
