The Polaroid Land Camera produced photographs in less than 60 seconds back in the day. It was like magic!!! Just imagine, a picture that you could actually hold in your hands and no need to take your roll of film to your local drug store for processing - you had an actual picture(s) - In An Instant! This Polaroid is my camera. I bought it new and had so much fun with it. This camera still operates perfectly and you can still get film for it. Time has passed and there's nothing like the digital age - but oh those sweet memories.

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?
Laura, in my days (even in the eighties) at sea when we had some important thing to report (like damage etc.) I used to take Polaroid shots and post it from the next port. It would have taken at least a week to reach the ship owner. Today you take a photo and within 10 minutes you can send it via satellite from mid-ocean. That is progress for you. Nice one and if this is your contest entry it is a very good one.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
I like to copy SAW's thoughts as this is a perfect (and sharp as a pin) entry for the current ('Retro') contest and the Wednesday B&W challenge.
If you would decide so, wish you Good Luck with it in both cases.
Very well done, my friend.

My stepmother had one of these back in the late 60s...Possibly a more basic model than this, and she used it all the time...Only drawback is that it only took B&W pictures...In the mid 70s, she graduated to the color SX-70 Land Camera...
Nice one...Faved...

My first camera was Polaroid in the late 60's - this is a cool shot Laura and is a great entry for the contest and/or the BWC.

Not only do I remember those cameras, but the flash bulbs as well! Lol! Nice presentation, and excellent contest contender, and I do hope you will enter it in the challenge as well.

I still have a color Polaroid photo of my husband and myself before we were married. This image really brought back nostalgic memories. It's great that you can still use it! This would be a great contest entry!

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
Congratulations for your placing on this contest !!
