Like many people, I used to think Polaroid was old technology, destined to be phased out in the digital age. I watched "New York Waiting" yesterday and it has given me a whole new perspective. Actually I am surprised it didn't appear so to me before.It should have been obvious. The Polaroid camera and instant photographs, embodies the motto "Live for the Moment." I dunno if the Polaroid marketing team has come up with that yet, but it's really a cool notion. You bring along a Polaroid camera everywhere you go, together with a marker pen. You see something or a special moment comes and you capture it, and immediately you are able to write something on the Polaroid Snapshot. You create your own postcards of the places you have been, to mail back to friends back home. Or start a polaroid scrapbook, together with all your immediate musings(instead of having to go home to upload your pictures) like a photo-journal. Live for the moment.



No I am not working for Polaroid. But they should give me one.
