New Polaroid Camera :)

Matt got me a new Polaroid its considerable older then the one I have now, about 15 years older but it was still in its original packaging with the Styrofoam and everything. Pretty legit :)

Anyway, its a 1981 Polaroid 660 Autofocus:

That golden disk in the front send out sound waves to autofocus the shot :D

I can't wait for my next batch of film to come in so I can try it out. Hopefully the Canadian post doesn't screw me over and delay my shipment for a million years because of their strike.

"Is Photographic Film Fading Out?"

Recently saw this article on film which made me feel pretty proud to identify myself within the group of people reverting back to traditional film use. Not to say that I'm very good or even that I go around taking photos all the time, like a true enthusiast, but I do like the look of traditional film and do use it occasionaly. Currently I'm playing around with Polaroids :P

Globe&Mail Article "Is Photographic Film Fading Out?"

Now I just need to experiment with scanning my Polaroids into the computer without letting the light from the scanner ruin them, so I can show off  my pathetic attempts to be creative :)

Gave in and Bought myself a Polaroid :)

Found this though Etsy in a "shop" called 8bits seeling a while bunch of different vintage polaroids (in case anyone is intrested)

This is one of the later vintage models polaroid released. It gives you the same great anitque image, with much more "high tech" features than previous models.

Everything works great, built in flash that offers a "lighter", or "darker" setting, depending on how strong you want the flash to go off. Also offers a nice "Depth of Field" function. with two variable settings (2-4 ft., and 4ft-infinity). 

HOWEVER there is one problem, and that is that Polaroid no longer makes the traditional 600 film for these things. Thank god for Project Impossible! 

POTS the musical

This is just funny, but also amazing in its detail. I wish I had the means and the talent to do this with my extra time...
