polaroids.

i hope that by the time i have kids, polaroid film won't be so expensive.


i want to be able to give my kids an old polaroid camera with a 10 pack of prints and see what happens, even if they're the shittiest pictures ever.




i can't decide whether this came from me reminiscing about my shitty old film camera from when i was little or from my desperation that my kids won't experience any of the same tangible gorgeous things from the pre-digital era.

technology.

This might honestly be one of the saddest things I've read this year.


I have recently decided that as technology evolves, we devolve. I love the internet and digital cameras and my iPad, but I miss libraries and film and reading. I am going to miss book stores and magazines and video tapes and CDs. The technology just can't replace those in my mind.


My kids are going to miss out on so much. Sad. :(
