Polaroid has still got it after all these years. As proof, and for some Friday fun, check out this 1970’s retro how-to video/advert/documentary. Still cool and amazingly poignant.

Polaroid – the original social network.
Snap a picture, show your friends = Create. Share Sustain.
Note the range, accessibility and the diversity.
Pretty impressive.

Reminder to check out the Impossible Project, plus one of my recent Polaroid snapshots after the jump.

    Chase- I watched your presentation from CES, and really am unsure as to what direction the “new” Polaroid is going in. Please visit my blog, which covers all things Polaroid, from Automatic Land Camera photography, through today’s Polaroid 300, at:

    You are a talented, creative artist.

    Hi Chase and Staff,
    I just wanted to say that it’s not just your art and your finished products that are truly inspirational, but it’s this ecosystem type environment that you have created. I love the way you and your team learn new things and build on those ideas in creative ways. You constantly promote an underlying wellness through your interactions and work ethic.
    I absolutely love the fact that someone like me can go to your site for the first time and get inspired about life through your work. The idea of trusting each member of your team with their own individual skill sets and prowess underscores the true meaning of something being greater than the sum of it’s parts. It’s no secret that you have discovered something fantastic and wonderful. I think it’s bigger than that. If I could say one thing about what you and your team is doing, it would be –

    “To understand kindness, beauty, compassion, and the willingness to give, is sometimes a hard thing to grasp in this day and age. Our lives sometimes don’t allow us to understand how simple it is to obtain a good life. How giving and sharing can do more for your well being than anything else. I think it’s magical that I can become emotional about my surroundings after being inspired by your group. Chase, you guys are not just artists, you are teachers on how to make people inspired in ways that can transform their own individual lives

    It’s quite late to have a SX-70 (a great camera!!!) but today there are FujiFilm alternatives.. I have ordered one small instax camera and it’s on the way from Japan. Since the idea is shooting with Polaroid, obtain the glossy-unpredictable colors Instax film is the new way.
    I am writing these before taking shot firh instax but so far examples on Flickr are good enough.
    Main point : instax cartidges are accessible and affordable

Image of Arthur Brooks with the text "Is This True Happiness?" overlayed. The background features a dynamic arrangement of falling dollar bills and coins. In the top left corner, the logo of "The Chase Jarvis Live Show" is visible, framed in a bright yellow box. Arthur Brooks is positioned on the right side, wearing glasses and a suit, looking directly at the camera with a slight smile.

a portrait of Seth Godin, a bald man wearing yellow glasses and a blue suit with a yellow and blue striped tie. The background is predominantly black with a checkered pattern (black and white squares) along the right edge, creating a chessboard effect. The text reads "CHECKMATE STRATEGY WINS" in bold white capital letters, positioned to the left of the image. The thumbnail has a yellow border, and in the top right corner, there is a small yellow logo that says "THE CHASE JARVIS LIVE SHOW.Why Strategy Always Beats Talent
The show's logo is displayed on the left side, with "THE CHASE JARVIS LIVE" in bold black text inside yellow rectangles, stacked vertically. The right side of the image features a robotic figure, resembling a humanoid robot, meticulously working on a canvas. The robot is painting or drawing a grayscale portrait of a human-like figure. The robot's detailed mechanical components are visible, and the scene evokes themes of artificial intelligence, creativity, and technology. The background is minimal, allowing focus on the robot and its artwork. The composition suggests an exploration of AI's role in creative processes.Is AI the End of Creativity or Just the Beginning?
