Polaroid has still got it after all these years. As proof, and for some Friday fun, check out this 1970’s retro how-to video/advert/documentary. Still cool and amazingly poignant.
Polaroid – the original social network.
Snap a picture, show your friends = Create. Share Sustain.
Note the range, accessibility and the diversity.
Pretty impressive.
Reminder to check out the Impossible Project, plus one of my recent Polaroid snapshots after the jump.

Love this video. I remember when the SX70 first came out . It
Generated the same type of buzz as the iPhone.
I have this same model and now want to pull
It from my camera collection and start using it
Again. Where can you buy film?
you can get some old film on ebay but you can also find some fresh here

Absolutely possible, search eBay. Shouldn’t have to pay more than 50-100 euros for a nice SX-70 / SLR 680.
The ad was made by Charles and Ray Eames. They could make anything look good.
Chase,
Just have to say this is really cool! Thanks!
I love Polaroid cameras. I also love the “today’s Polaroid camera” called the iPhone.
