I happen to be a fan of Polaroid Pictures, but i think that this type of photography is drawing dead.
The main reason for their lack of popularity is (in my opinion) because:
1. People can now easily photoshop the grungy-look that polaroid pictures provide
2. People do not enjoy carrying photographs on them right after they take a picture
Anyway, right now people seem to like taking pictures of polaroid pictures and creating that picture in another picture effect!
However, I would like to point out one thing that annoys me in photography, it's people who think they are taking artistic pictures when really all they have is a super expensive camera + lense. Have you noticed that these people usually take a picture of themselves with their camera aiming for a shot (super pro-like pose) haha!
taking picture with a real polaroid is way more spontaneous (and spontaneous =romantic)
ReplyDeleteI think its mostly the cost of polaroid paper, its like 15$ for a pack of ten... I bought a few "vintage" polaroid for the heck of it, and am unable to find the film, its super expensive on ebay as well :S
