Did you grow up with a Polaroid camera? The instant camera that gave you the satisfaction of seeing your photographs immediately? Most of us that were born around the 70's-80's have seen one. The first one came out in 1972 and was the camera of choice by novice photographers. Then, in the early 90's the digital camera was born and after that the camera phone was invented giving people the ability to view images instantly. These technologies eventually wiped out Polaroid for good and they stopped production of their cameras in 2007 and discontinued the film in 2009.
That was the end to a tragic story until now. Polaroid has re-emerged with the creative help of pop icon, Lady Gaga. Last week on January 6th, Polaroid announced their new product line. The GL10 Instant Mobile Printer, GL30 Instant Digital Camera and the GL20 Camera Glasses.
Next time you think about taking photos for your website, blog or Facebook post, consider buying the new Polaroid camera or try using an older camera. The results will create interest and bring some creativity to your work.
