There's just something about Polaroids. The white frame, slightly thicker at the bottom so that you may scribble down something about the picture or the moment, that slightly grungy filter-like glaze that makes it a little vintage.
Pretty.
Digital Camera photos are too easy. Snap one, don't like it, take another, delete. With polaroids, there's no second shot. Somehow, it just feels like the best way to capture moments, just that very moment, and have them immediately immortalized. Much like life, you only get one shot. :)
If I had a polaroid camera, I'd take polaroids of moments that made me happy, keep them in a shoe box, and look through them once a year with someone I love. And then show them to my grandchildren next time although, they will probably turn down their noses at them and show me their fancy schmancy hyperdigital-superquadruple 358x zoom camera with techno-rotating capability and sound sensitive shutters that takes about 52 shots in a nanosecond.
Sometimes, we yearn for simplicity and the little things that matter, that no technology can do better. Like I said, you only get one shot. Live and let live.
