Why has the polaroid vanished into the past?
To this day companies brag about how simple or easy to use their cameras are, but they have yet to come close(and I believe they never will) to the original polaroid one step.
Everything thats anything these days involves so much. Batteries, memory cards, cameras, computers and printers. Even if your shooting film, camera, film, darkroom/darkroom supplies.
After weeks of straight shooting portraits all it took me to step back was one picture from my polaroid that I didn't even take. I finally realized how sick of things like Lightroom, Livebooks, and anything else that has to do with digital photography, I guess anything that has to do with photography at all. Don't get me wrong at the same time I thrive from it and couldn't live without these things but every once in awhile you need to keep things simple and what is more simple than see the picture, take the picture, have it in you hand... Nothing beats a Polaroid.
The Polaroid Project has started.

This is a good idea although I am curious as to how far this project will go. As I am sure you know, Polaroid film is getting next to impossible to find, and when you can find it, it is very expensive.
Who is taking these photos? I know that Polaroids don't have a self timer on them. How do you feel these images turned out? What do you like about them? Not like? What are you learning from it?
....and project 3 was due on October 1, so you need to get caught up and do 2 big projects in a week to try and catch up.
Wow such a great idea for a blog. very different format.
