- I believe there are great photographers, photographers in the rough, and people who think they’re annie leibovitz but clearly are not. Too many people who post their photos online fall in the last category.
- I curse the proliferation of digital SLRs because it means that I my eyes are assulted by “pseudo-photography” on my fb news feed.
- I also despise the trend of people assuming they are photographers because they own an SLR. My views on this have already been discussed in brief here.
- I think that photographers should own/use old school film cameras.
- Any budding photographer should attend at least one photography course to learn the basic rules and fundamentals. Afterwards, you can break them.

Call me a sap, but this news seriously gives me the goosebumps.Who cares about the hipsters!? My grandmother will be so happy! She uses hers for absolutely everything.
Colour and black & white for both SX-70s and 600s? Oh my god. This is the best news in ages.
“The project is more than a business plan; it’s a fight against the idea that everything has to die when it doesn’t create turnover,” said Mr Kaps.
Thank frickity-frick. Polaroid film was getting ridiculously exxy on ebay. Ps. is it sad that I’m getting most, if not all, my polaroid related news from Tumblr?

Hmm. Not sure what to make of this.
Pfft, Polaroid should go back to making the old school instamatic film (particularly because I own one, and am not interested in investing money to reinvent the wheel again)
