I'm going to buy a polaroid for two reasons. I rarely take pictures so I rarely use up whole rolls of film so its years before I develope film and I'm left wondering what the hell happened all those months ago. In essence its for instant gratification. The other reason, the reason I'm buying it now and not later is so that I can document my little home renovation project of mine. I've got the overall design done, I can fill in the rest once its drawn. I just need paint (black), brushes, masking tape, and the energy to actually start.
