  • Giveaway: Polaroid Now I-Type Camera & Film!

    I was 17 and out running around with a couple of friends. We wound up in a shopping mall -- it was 1985, so this was very much still a thing then -- and came upon a Polaroid Face Place booth. This was a photo boot that made single Polaroid prints for $1. We each made one of the three of us; this was mine. I’m the guy in the front. I’m blown away by the sharpness and color, which is better than any integral-print image I’ve ever seen. Also, the photo has retained its color even after nearly 40 years.


  • This is an excellent piece of personal history, thank you, Jim!
