RIP Polaroid

(some of the pictures in the slide show NSFW). 

Strangely enough, as many times as I've snapped a Polaroid in my life, I'm not really sad about this  :-\

LOL

I was plus I was going to say we could just photoshop. And apps are pretty cool. There's just something about the real thing that you can't replace.

That was one of the coolest things about them besides the obvious of being able to take a picture and being able to see it almost instantly  8)

You didn't have to own one to feel the magic of one.  Tell me you at least got to shake a picture of yourself into existence  ;D

I've never owned a polaroid, but I did like the idea of not having to give the film negatives to the shop for developing.  I'm sure they used to look at the pictures while they developed.  I'm too embarrassed to go to the shop because of it.
