Living in the Past

Some might say I'm living in the past. I prefer to call it nostalgia. But I love vintage posters, cars, clothes, and more. I don't exactly drive around in a Ford Falcon, but I admire things all the same.

So you can imagine my sadness when Polaroid announced it was discontinuing making its instant film. How could they get rid of the original "instant gratification" photography? In the pre-digital world, Polaroids helped you pick outfits, record funny memories, and decorated dorm room walls. What could be more classic and fun than taking Polaroids? We even had a Polaroid guestbook at our wedding!

However, with time comes change and it is not always for the worse. Polaroid has launched the PoGo, a new digital device that takes and prints pictures without even using ink! That is pretty neat. I haven't actually seen one of these babies in action, but I would be interested to know if anyone else has. I'm immediately adding this plus the Canon G10 to my "wish list."

Until then, I have two sad packs of Polaroid film left. I have to decide what is worthy enough to use my last 40 Polaroids on.
