Who out there still has a Polaroid camera? I thought at the time when Polaroid entered the market it was the best invention since sliced bread. (BTW, if you didn’t know they have been officially discontinued this year so stock up on your film while you can).

There’s something nostalgic about getting your photo taken with a Polaroid camera. The snap of the button, the big flash and the buzzing noise it makes when the film is coming out…and then of course the 5 minute shake and wait for the photo to appear.

When ever possible I still like to take Polaroids and even more so I love looking at them. For those of you who love Polaroids as well, I think you’d love this book: The Polaroid Book.

The Polaroid Book is a collection of photos from all over the world by several photographers and includes important pieces by artists such as Helmut Newton and Jeanloup Sieff. It’s a remarkable collection put together by Polaroid founder Edwin H. Land and photographer Ansel Adams and I hope you get a chance to take a look at it - It’s instantly gratifying.

You can buy the book for $ 39.99 USD online at Taschen.
