Blog 6: Yes, I'm Obsessed with Tangible Media

      Some of My Polaroids:

In a world filled with digital cameras and smartphones, taking pictures has never been easier, but also feels a little less meaningful at times. A solution, polaroid! Polaroid cameras bring back the charm of instant, tangible photos. Instead of scrolling through thousands of pictures on a screen, you get to hold a physical print just seconds after snapping the shot. Polaroids make each photo feel special, offering the unmatched feeling of holding a memory in your hands.

Polaroids also invite us to slow down and be intentional. With limited film and no delete button, each shot counts. It’s a refreshing change from digital photography. Endless retakes can make moments feel less genuine. When you use a Polaroid, you’re not just taking a picture, but rather creating a one-of-a-kind memory that can’t be replicated or edited.

Finally, Polaroids bring a sense of nostalgia and connection that digital photos can’t match. Whether you’re hanging them on your wall, adding them to a scrapbook, or handing one to a friend, these little prints have a way of bringing people together. They make great conversation that last for years. So much of our lives exists online now, yet Polaroid photos remind us of the beauty of real, imperfect, and personable occasions. The next time you're looking to capture a moment, try Polaroid. Ask for one before Christmas maybe even buy one of your own (or the alternative 3rd option of stealing it from your older sister which I may or may not do),                                                                      you'd be surprised at how meaningful a single picture 

                                                            can feel.
