A while back when photographers were suddenly faced with the prospect that the world would be without polaroids there was some panic. I had a small panic, but my purse could only stretch to two out-of-date boxes of polaroid film. (unlike the photographer in front of me who appeared to buy the shop out) Below are the chosen few. My polaroid camera is one of the cheapest of the cheap, no, actually, it is the cheapest. A little annoying as it means you have to be a certain distance from everything to achieve focus and stop the obligatory flash totally overexposing everything.

I think the ‘past their expiry date’ nature of the film, means that they all look slightly ’70’s – the colour faded and aged.

My favourite is the one below. I just really like the idea of painting and subject together in a photograph.
