INSTANT HAPPINESS,


While I was looking at pictures last night, I found this polaroid of my siblings and I as well as one of my older cousins. I noticed my little brother wearing a San Francisco 49ers suit or whatever it's called. I laughed to myself because my friend, "JayR"/Ferdinand, from middle school also has a picture in that same suit. Was it a thing for little boys to wear that lived in San Francisco? I don't know. I actually have that picture of my friend Ferdinand and I don't know why but it's somewhere, haha.

A couple of days ago, Mindy, told me that Polaroid is coming out with film during the holidays this year. Score! I did my research and it's quite possible that it will happen. I apologize for offending anyone and their Fujifilm Instax's, but I'm sorry.. Polaroid's still the best and it was the first to produce instant magic. I'm not hating though, rumors are that Fujifilm will possibly make iZone filmbut I'm not quite sure about that. Polaroid will make a come back. You can find some vintage Polaroid cameras at your local thrift stores for about $2-5. It'd be worth it if 600 film does come out.

Anyway, I think I'm going to scan a few old pictures.

Lol, baaaaaangs!!!!! I love how vintage this picture looks! I need to find my Polaroids! I'm so bummed that my Polaroid camera is broken! Need to figure out how to get that fixed, or buy a new one. My manager said I could have the one that we use at work since I told them they won't be producing film anymore. Hahaha! Although they might come out with more this year. Oh well! Hahaha!

Polaroids FTW!

Gah, I REALLY hope it's true that more film comes out, I mean eBay film from 5 years ago doesn't cut it for triple the price! Geeze. But I've been trying to hold on for dear life onto my film and camera so I don't *waste* film. But I want to use it all up at the same time! Haha. Sadly, I only have 2 packs left and a couple more still in the camera itself.

Polaroid should know that their instant film is a hit, Idk why they can't produce more anyway?

@Thessa I know, I had bangs my whole life. Well maybe until I was 5, haha.

@Alyssa Yes, keep your polaroid! I actually have 6 packs of unused 600 film and 9 shots left in my camera right now. I want to use it up too 'cause knowing that it could be wasted by just expiring in its box, or I can waste it on actually taking pictures. I just hope Polaroid comes out with some 600 film!
