my polaroid and me... it's complicated


Say hello to my Polaroid camera.



I was super happy when I got it as a gift for my birthday last year (despite the films being quite expensive). This is a used one. While Polaroid stopped manufacturig films, there is a new company which produces and sells them: The Impossible Project. So I scraped some money together and bought the PX 680 Color Shade Cool

I was so eager to finally try out my new camera that I ignored the high price and the fact that you only get to snap 8 pictures with those films. 

The first photo turned out quite alright and just the way I expected it with faded colors and that signature retro look:

In the second photograph you can already see a brown spot in the left corner. Not nice.

Tony got scared and ran off due to the 
strange noises the camera makes :)








So far I took 5 pictures and that hideous blotch seemed to grow with each photograph so that the fifth one looks like this:

Modern Art





















Uhm, okay that really frustrated me. I'm no Polaroid expert and my internet research provided no answer whether this is the camera's or the film's fault, either.

I got 3 pictures left and I somehow got the feeling that the brown spot will grow all over them, which is really sad considering the money I spent on the film.
