Polaroid Penpals?

(1/3) > >>

Will:
I'm not sure if this idea will work, because I don't know how many of you guys are fellow owners of Polaroid cameras, but I'm going to try.

A couple of years ago, I started a "Pen Pals" thread where we all traded addresses and wrote to each other. It was fun. Now I want to do something similar but different. This time, I want to trade Polaroid pictures with you guys. Since Polaroid film is no longer being made, this will only last for a little while.

How it will work is this: You post in this thread if you want to participate. You must own, or at least have access to a Polaroid camera. Once you post in this thread, i will message you with my address. You take a picture of anything you want, and send it to me. When I get your picture, I will return the favor with a picture of my own. Something from where I live, a close-up of something I think looks cool...anything!

MODS-if this thread should be in a different section, please move it for me. I just figured the arts&crafts folk would be most likely to have Polaroid cameras!

Allybee:
me me :] I just borrowed my friend's polaroid camera cause I found some film and I'm going to buy more today. I believe the polaroid company has been taken over, and will continue to make film, but fuji also sells what is apparently an acceptable substitute (the color is more vivid, I hear). it might take me a while to take something good enough to send you, though!

pen:
This sounds crazy fun and I wish I had a polaroid camera.  =(  Can't I just get something developed and send it?

Will:
Ally, if I am not mistaken the Fuji film is only going to be compatible with the picture-pack type cameras, the ones you peel apart to develop. I think the square film that everyone associates with the 'Polaroid look' is going to be gone forever :-(

Pen, the film's hells of expensive so I really want to keep it Polaroid-for-Polaroid trade. If you want, I'll PM you my address though and we can trade regular pictures!

Lines:
We had a camera. :(

If you guys do a normal photo trade, I'm up for that.
