Keep the Magic Alive

Photo and words by kate

Polaroid can never be replaced by digital. There’s so much it can do that nothing else can. Only one person gets the original. No one else has the same picture. It’s more than a print, it’s a magic memory that no digital can replace. Sure, you could take your digital camera into Walmart and print out as many shots as you want, but who does, and how are they special? Try getting those to develop in front of your eyes.

Instant film is used for so many things that will just be cut off and made more difficult when it’s gone. It’s by far my first choice of art and photography and I haven’t gotten the chance to try out so many things that I’ve wanted to. Why should the young and even the un-born miss out on this? You know what they say, “if it’s framed, it’s art!” Polaroid is worth whatever money we have to pay to keep it alive. It’s irreplaceable in the world and in our non-digitalized hearts! Corny as it sounds… KEEP THE MAGIC ALIVE!
