Having been admittedly sucked in by the ‘it’s super fun!!’ image of Polaroid photography, I used it for some fun photos around the house, at a party, and then on a weekend getaway. There is nothing quite like taking a photo of a moment and being able to hand someone the slightly retro, pretty cool output of that moment 10 seconds later. Until the photo develops and you realise the quality is absolutely horrendous and there was little point in taking it in the first place.

I mean, I don’t blame you. “Decorative grass” is a pretty weird concept.

My mistake. I guess “decorative grass” is not a typo. I misread it initially as “decorative glass”.

Wonderful article. Tend to agree that Polaroid is not worth the trouble or expense. Have tried some of the instant 35mm Polaroid film with very mixed results. No pictures of the results of your adventure? Typo is “decorative grass”.
