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.

There’s still demand for Polaroid film and companies are still producing it – there’s still life in the old dog. Check out http://www.the-impossible-project.com. Commission payments can be made to…
Very cool!
Very cool!
This video makes me want to get a polaroid camera even more.
I’m from Toronto, Canada and they’re very difficult to find. Same goes for the paper used in polaroid cameras.
Kind of frustrating.
Polaroid saved my creative life. After 30 years of photography (pro and amateur), in the mid-’90s I had to give up my darkroom. From then until I went all digital around 2000 Polaroid was my main creative outlet. After a 60-hour week in corporate mid-management, on the weekend I could put in an hour or so playing photographer with Polaroid. Maybe it wasn’t great art, but it gave me an outlet and helped keep me sane — more or less.
I used a ton of SX-70 and more than a few packs of 4×5 in those years. I still have a very nice SX-70 in the closet, if only I could get film.

Incredible. Thanks.
