What started as a personal journey of instant photography became something much bigger, after I discovered and became part of the worldwide community of engineers, enthusiasts, creators, and artists…
Why instant-photography? Well, it’s definitely NOT to harm the environment or to turn away (completely) from digital photography. It’s just that Digital is more about making the “capture” and editing your images afterward, which is great for everyday snaps and street photography, or studio/commercial work.
The “one-chance-to-compose-and-crop-in-the-viewfinder” approach of instant photography is more a process of “making a picture” (as Ansel Adams said) than just taking one a la digital. And, of course, the Polaroid-instant-analog film look-and-feel is wonderful: softness, vignetting, light-leaks, aberrations, and colors. Oh, and those beautiful disasters when instant film gets jammed in the camera on the way out are awesome!
