in the past year or two i've discovered a new found love for photography. i think it all started when i got my first iphone; suddenly i had a decent camera right at my finger tips. it's been a couple years since then and my interest has grown. recently i found a gold mine of old family polaroid pictures. this ignited a spark that set me looking to try out polaroid photography myself. i found the same polaroid camera my family used years ago and decided to give this whole polaroid thing a go. i'll be sharing a series of posts that logs my polaroid experience, so... first things first. i'm going to be using this camera (pictured below). it was a company camera given to my mom for work and we still have it. i was happy to use it instead of spending hundreds of dollars on a new one! (crossing my fingers that it still works...) also, my first batch of photos will be on this film (pictured above). i went straight for the cool film instead of starting out with the basic white squares. here are a few other cameras and film options i think are cool so you can start your own polaroid journey! xo shawndiz
