Super duper ridiculously cute application Poladroid that converts any of your photos to Polaroid like images. Download it now (free! yippie!) and be glad you aren't spending $10 a pack for film! It even makes the little whirring sound, and takes time to "develop". A nice touch too--you can choose when you want the pic to stop developing. So much fun to get a whole bunch going and arranging them around on the screen like actual Polaroids. Really, the coolest thing I've found on the internet since this.

Can't deny the tag line either: "The easiest and funnest Polaroid image maker". Word.

Have You Heard?

Polaroid has been adopted! On October 9th, the last batch of produced film passed its "use by" date, and it looked as if Polaroid lovers were going to be left high and dry. Luckily though, as many were hoping, the name and technology for the cameras is being licensed for production, and a group called The Impossible Project (totally worth reading up on these guys) will be producing film. It's quite and interesting story for what some consider an antiquated format while others consider precious. Read more here, here, and here.

Here's a few pics I pulled off the Flickr group, aptly named, "The Polaroid Pool":








Also, if you haven't seen Poladroid, check it out--we've got a bit of a wait until mid 2010. Here is a link to another post I did on Polaroids of plants, too. Lastly, we do have a couple vintage camera's in stock, including an instant film camera (that uses Polaroid film) that was produced for Tupperware and made by Kodak as a gift for their top Tupperware sellers. Super kitsch.

But in "for real" form with a hard case and original manual for $24. Check out more vintage camera illustrations available on Etsy here.

Also, for those of you worried about Polaroid's future, last I read, they have enough film stock to last through 2009, and after that, someone's going to have to pony-up to Polaroid to license the technology to keep making film. Let's all cross our fingers...



But if it does run out, at least there is Poladroid!
