I came across a slightly mysterious website -- a collection of Polaroids, one per day, from March 31, 1979 through October 25, 1997. There's no author listed, no contact info, and no other indication as to where these came from. So, naturally, I started looking through the photos. I was stunned by what I found. In 1979 the photos start casually, with pictures of friends, picnics, dinners, and so on.
Here's an example from April 23, 1979 (I believe the photographer of the series is the man in the left foreground in this picture): By 1980, we start to figure out that the photographer is a filmmaker. Some days he doesn't photograph anything interesting, so instead takes a photo of the date. Throughout the 1980s we see more family/fun photos, but also some glimpses of the photographer's filmmaking and music. The photographer is a big Mets fan. In the late 1980s we start seeing more evidence that the photographer is also a musician. In 1991, we see visual evidence of the photographs so far. Patti Smith - Land 250 Polaroid Photographs. "Sometimes, if I crave silence I turn to my Land 250. The experience of taking Polaroids connects me with the moment. They are souvenirs of a joyful solitude. " Patti Smith — visionary poet punk singer songwriter activist artist — has created a rich multi-layered installation at Fondation Cartier in Paris that reflects 40 years of her more personal visual art-making and creative expression.
Drawn from pieces created between 1967 and 2007, the exhibition includes sketches, collages, films, audio installations, cherished objects, handwritten and typed poetry, drafts of song lyrics, and — at the center of it all — a lot of black-and-white Polaroid photographs. By way of introduction to her visual art, and especially to her photography, Patti Smith writes: When I was eight my mother gave me Songs of Innocence by William Blake, a collection of his poems and drawings. I was enthralled by it and began writing and illustrating my own little stories. — Jim Casper. Manuel polaroid SX 70. POLAROID INSTRUCTION MANUALS .. Polaroid Madness, Ireland. Polaroid SX-70 Instant Camera - MiNT. PrintSnap Wants to Bring Back the Instant Picture Using Dirt Cheap Receipt Paper.
Instant photos are fun and were at one time super popular, but they aren’t exactly cheap. Shooting with new Impossible Project film costs about $3 per shot these days. But what if you could shoot casual instant snapshots on a physical medium for less than a penny per shot? That’s the idea behind the PrintSnap. It’s an instant camera that captures photos on standard receipt paper. The project is the brainchild of Michael Ciuffo, a Seattle-based electrical engineer who graduated from MIT in 2011. For the past three months he has been working at building a new camera that can print fun shots onto thermal paper — the same kind used by receipt printers.
In other words, for the price of one Impossible Project shot, you’ll be able to capture 1,000 photos using his camera. Of course, photo quality won’t be great, but the camera’s 640×384 resolution (in 3×1.75 inches) is “more than high enough to capture your precious memories on real, physical paper.” Printsnap [ch00ftech via Reddit]

I got the idea for this post from a friend on Facebook, Zebrio, who asked about how I handle my Polaroid prints while out in the field. I actually get this question pretty regularly, and I see it as a frequent forum question, as well. So I thought it might be interesting to some to share a couple of my tips for shooting and carrying/handling Polaroid prints in the field.
And it may give some insight into how I shoot, which is something I honestly don't think about very much as a lot of it is just a result of experience and repetition, eventually leading to some level of intuition. I don't pretend to be some kind of Ansel Adams that knows everything about photography technique, but maybe some of this will help others with personal shooting methods. Speaking of repetition and experience, there really is no substitution for just shooting a lot. It's no joke that since 2004 or so, I have shot over 5,000 peel-apart Polaroids, which looks something like this: Hope this was useful!
