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.

Did anyone check out the end credits?! Very interesting and a historical footnote themselves.
Charles and Ray Eames made the film (the Eames’ are 2 of the most notable designers of the 20th Century for those not familiar).

Academy Award winner Elmer Bernstein did the music.

Who needs digital !!??
I want my Polaroids……
Polaroids are pretty good fun. Miss my old one.
Funny how that concept has kind of been taken over by phone cameras.
Was that Billy Zane the actor in this video?
