instant camera love

October 07, 2012

 

Remember instant photography, friends?
We had a Polaroid One-Step that was soooooo fun
back in the day when John Travolta and Andy Gibb
covered my bedroom walls.


Well....it's BACK in a BIG way.
Jenifer Altman,
Susannah Conway, and Amanda Gilligan
are a beautiful international trio

Since instant film is once again available,
what a fun bandwagon to jump on!

Anybody own an instant camera?

Peace to you right where you are.

  3. My daughter has a polaroid...bought it on ebay years ago...I thought at the time it was quite funny that she was so enamoured with, to me, such a low tech type camera...but she loved the novelty of it and the 'instant' product! I know she had trouble getting hold of the film...so she will be happy to know it's now more readily available. Robx

  4. I never had a polaroid, always wanted to have one! Wouldn't it be fun to have one during a fun dinner party?

    Enjoy the rest of your weekend, Michele!

  8. I am right now, at this very
    moment, crossing my fingers
    that I did not get rid of my Polaroid!
    Have to scrounge through boxes
    and find out. This could be fun!

    Happy Monday,
    xo Suzanne

    PS: My ocean in a box arrived
    on Saturday and I love it!

  9. How fun! I haven't used a Polaroid in years. Could be a fun thing to introduce to a party - and send everyone home with their pics. These photos are just lovely.
    What's the countdown Michele? Are you 4 or 5 days away at this point. I'm so excited for you and can't wait to hear about your Paris adventures!!! XO
