Polaroid lovers unite each year on flickr for ‘Roid Week.

That time is here.

5 days celebrating instant film.

Do you have a polaroid camera?  And if you answered yes,  are you lucky enough to have some film?  I sure hope you do.  Click on over to flickr and join the group.  You can add 2 polaroid images a day, each day.  It started yesterday and continues through Friday.

Polaroid enthusiasts LOVE their cameras.  Which polaroid camera is your favorite?  My dream polaroid is the  SX-70 model,  the one my parents shot with back in the day.  I still remember that feeling as a kid when the photo would pop out the front of the camera and i would hold it in my hands and watch it develop right before my eyes.  It always felt like magic, it still does.  Now I get to share that magic with my own children, and watch as they get that same giddy anticipation I so remember getting when I was little.

Need film?  the IMPOSSIBLE project has what you need. When the Polaroid company decided to close shop a passionate movement began. Click on over and read their inspiring story and check out the goods now available thanks to them.

And an extra bonus of ‘Roid Week 2010, the IMPOSSIBLE project is giving away 2 packs of their new PX 600 film a day to 2 random members of the group.  Who knows, you could be a lucky winner!  

Show us your instant images today.  What? No instant camera you say… Well you may not be able to join ‘Roid Week, but you can still have fun with your digital images by making a poladroid and sharing it with us here.

  8. you can use any instant film.

    i have no polaroid film and the impossible project film is so expensive.

    but i love my instax 210 and my instax mini 7s!

  10. Yay for Polaroid week! I’m participating with my SX-70 and Sun 600. I would love to get my hands on an SLR 680 someday, but I’m not sure that any camera could ever eclipse my love for the SX-70.

  13. I’ve been bitten by the Polaroid bug recently and am trying out a few different cameras. I have a Land 100, Land 340, SX-70, Spectra, One Step 600 and a 660 Close-up.

  23. I just purchased a beautiful SX70 off eBay about two weeks ago and I’m patiently awaiting the arrival of my 600 film…. Okay maybe not SO patiently because I just ran out yesterday and purchased a Fuji Instax.

    That too is a really fun camera and my first shot thought simple was absolutely magical!

    Happy Roid Week!!

  25. I have a Polaroid but no film. I had no idea there was a way to track some down. They’re so fun. We use then at parties to send people home with "favors." Although, really, some of those pics probably weren’t doing anyone any favors, if you know what I mean.
