I used to shoot film. A LOT! Believe it or not, I shot film all the way until we moved to Colorado … which was only 6 years ago {light years in the photo industry}. I used to develop some of my own film or send it to the lab, and when it returned, I was like a kid on Christmas Morning. As long as I can remember, we had a Polaroid in our house. I admit. I have a very unhealthy addiction to Polaroid cameras. We won’t discuss why they stopped making the film or my longing for them to begin remaking it. I love how it creates instant gratification of the image you just took – or how no matter how modern the setting is, the photo still looks vintage. My parents have piles of photo albums from my childhood years. All of them contain a healthy dose of Polaroid images.
A few months ago I got the Fuji Instax Mini Camera. I have been having a blast with it – and literally have a few hundred of these awesome sized credit card images laying around. I am trying to devise a really awesome plan of what to do with them – but until then – it makes me feel like a kid again … and brings back the creativity of shooting with film. Here’s a few of our recent adventures. Enjoy
P.S. Go do something to make yourself feel like a kid again today. We all need to revisit that time now and again.
