I do remember that smell!! Hadn't thought of it in years. Wow.

Awww...

We've got a Polaroid and there's no substitute for it at a Party. There's a childlike joy in watching the photo materialize right there.



So, does anybody know how well the film will keep? Like for years?

I no longer have a polaroid camera (probably still in my mom's house somewhere), but I have used Polaroid film that was about 12 years old, and it worked like it was fresh off the shelf.

It's amazing how digital has totally changed photography. Thankfully hubby's collection of lenses works with our Rebel XTi. Sweet.

That reminds me. I need to research how to convert my VHS and 8mm home movies to DVD.

I think we have an old polaroid cam. will have to check. sorry to hear they are going to stop making 'em. I guess people just don't use 'em.

I guess it is the whole digital/cell phone camera thing. Polaroids are still used quite often in the design business. Most showrooms will take a pic of an item you or a client is interested in...quite a helpful tool.

Anyone old enough to remember when The Swinger came out??



It was like 'pure magic.'

My older sister had one of these. That smell, yes I can still smell it. The very first camera I ever had was a little polaroid that I got by saving S&H Greenstamps. I was so excited everytime my mom went to the grocery and brought back the stamps. I worked hard to fill that little stamp book up. Finally the day came to go and get my camera. I was so excited. I wish I still had it. Great memories.

Polaroid may be getting out of the biz, but are there any other companies who make knock off film?

You'll then remember that foam squeegee soaked with (probably toxic) goopy chemical that came in a plastic canister along with the film. After you peeled off the paper covering the picture, you had to squeegee on the goop so the photo wouldn't fade.

I also remember saving the S&H greenstamps for "special" stuff...talk about delayed gratification. Too bad we're denying the younger generations the anticipation leading up to getting something that one truly wants and enjoys--it is this anticipation, not the "thing," that makes memories so.... well......memorable.
