Times keep changing and so does technology. I saw this dummy replica of an old camera and remembered the old polaroid cameras my parents used back in the days to capture our startled, say cheese expressions for the family album.
We called them ‘wait and take,’ photos. It was fascinating as a child to watch the photo slide out mere minutes after it was taken. Now, digital rules the World.

Ha, a blast from the past indeed! We used to have one of these when I was a kid. 😀

Those things seemed like a miracle to me back then. Photography is still a miraculous phenomenon – I guess that’s why I love taking them 🙂

I had a couple very like that Jacqueline and thought they were great. It was funny a couple of weeks ago to find Polaroid still do them as do another firm. I’d have thought they were dead in the water now.

Wow! They still have them? That’s a surprise. I thought they were long dead and buried.

All the old camera types are so interesting. I used to have a Polaroid ‘Swinger’. Those were just little b&w photos, but fun. Those photos are still just as good as when I took them, too. 🙂 Hope you’re having a great day, and your weekend is lots of fun!

They were quite interesting. I’m sure if I search my parents home I might still find one hidden somewhere. Thank you Barbara and do have a great weekend as well.

This takes me back. I remember my dad had one with a handle you turned to roll out the picture. 😀

We used to go on Polaroid scavenger hunts. Each team was given a list of photos to get — like “your entire team is at least five feet off the ground.” (The winning entry for that one — they climbed up on a billboard!). The problem was the photos didn’t hold up so well over time.

I love cameras. I’m a junior photographer and have loads of cameras and camera equipment. My mum had an old Polaroid P600 (similar to the one in the picture) and recently gave it to me. I love it. I love Polaroid cameras (especially vintage ones)! 😌

Wow! It takes quite a bit of commitment to have a collection of cameras and equipment. I love taking photos and admiring vintage camera’s when I run into any.

Until 2009 I kept every camera I ever owned, including a Kodak Brownie box 😉 I had a ’63-ish Polaroid, but donated it when finding the film cartridges became prohibitive to use it. Thanks for the flashback. ❤

This is such a cute polaroid camera! I’ve gone to lots of thrift stores to try to find old polaroid cameras like these and I’m always fascinated with how many of them I can find. I currently use the new fujifilm mini instax 8 and it’s so perfect. Taking pictures with my polaroid camera is a hobby of mine. Check out of my blog if you want to see some photos I’ve taken 🙂
