Polaroid Panic

Polaroids

I didn't realise until recently, how incredibly beautiful Polaroid photographs can be. I've been very inspired by my exceptionally creative and talented friend Mat aka Cyan Blue (don't blush Mr Blue!) his is the wonderful little tea pot shot (top centre). So, the next step was for me to get a Polaroid Camera, well Mr Brown got there first but that's fine, I can borrow his. Unfortunately Polaroid have just announced they have stopped producing film and a mad panic has ensued, I saw a twin pack sell on eBay for over £40. I want to take tons of Polaroids and stick them all over my wall, just like in this Adidas ad (via Susie Bubble, her post this morning prompted me to write this one). Unfortunately, unless I can get my eager hands on some film, it might never happen now!

There is some hope, apparently with a little bit of modification the camera can take Polaroid 600 film which you can still buy for a reasonable price. I'll post the results soon hopefully!

Alya - Thank you, that's so sweet! You made my day :)

I've managed to get hold of some Polaroid 600 film which I can adapt to fit my 1000 camera instead of the SX-70 film. I'm still waiting for delivery, but I can't wait!
