I have always been a fan of the Polaroid. As a kid the instant gratification that it provides is great. Even as an adult hearing that sound of the camera spitting out the polariod, and waiting and anticipating as the white square takes shape. Shadows form, faces become people you love or hate. Birthdays, Christmas, Easter, and summer BBQ's have all been infused with the history of polariods. From the hard core artist to the mom recording her son's first birthday they have been around. And now there not. Its pretty obvious that the digital age would pretty much bring things to an end. But like I said before, a digital camera can't provide that moment of waiting. That moment of excitement we I used to wait and see what was gonna happen.
Heres to you Polaroid
My neighborhood park was the usual gather place for all walks of life, the old guys the young kids, the drug dealers, any and everybody really. But as time goes by some people grow up and move on. Some people still hang out at the park. I've known these guys for as long as I can remember. Its like the more things change the more they stay the same.
First and foremost I would like to say Happy New Year. I know 2008 was a shitty year for a lot of people, I was no different.
