An ode to the Polaroid. The film, made in the pre-digital photography era, is a reminder of how our conception of the idea of “instant” has vastly shifted.Or maybe time is just speeding up? Will today’s digital photography seem sloooow to future generations? Are we better off or worse off now that we have more than ten exposures on hand at a time—now that we can now shoot and shoot and delete and shoot ad infinitum?  Discuss.

Thanks to my friend Sally Vitsky for passing it along.
