 Ok, it's official: I am in love with my Polaroid camera. It is the worst piece of crap I've ever owned... but somehow it manages to surprise me nearly every time with overexposed images that have that certain je ne sais quoi... which is mutual because clearly the camera doesn't know what it's doing either.

@7ec25196, this one's for you. It was taken today - a perfectly sunny day - although you wouldn't know that from the way this picture turned out.

 @a3e2a07b @7ec25196 Nice pic. Which camera is it? There's a new Polaroid I-2 that looks very promising. 
 @a3e2a07b @7ec25196 It sort of looks like the Burning Man figure 🙂 
 @a3e2a07b @7ec25196 I have not used a Polaroid since 1970. I thought they were long gone. Where do you get film?

 @a3e2a07b I’ve decided that Polaroids completely fail to capture a factually accurate picture of reality yet capture the feeling of it 100% of the time.
