This was the only thing I asked for for Christmas this year, and it’s so fun! I keep my photos in a grid under the glass-top Ikea desk I have in my office, but I love that you guys keep them in a container like that. So cool!

I’ve been meaning to print some of my Instagram photos for months now. I need to get on that.

Caroline, oh my gosh, I never had the izone camera, but I remember wanting one! Too funny!

something about instant cameras gets to me. I don’t own the instamax but I’ve played with it many times and I guess it’s that perfect sized photo and instant gratification that makes it all that much more fun. & what a smart way to showcase those photos. I have tons of polaroids and izone pictures (remember those?) that just sit in a box. how fun it’d be as a visitor to sit and flip through all those pictures. smart!

Ooh, I love this! I’m so tempted to get one of those cameras. I’ve recently been messing around with disposable cameras because I love having physical pictures (and, apparently, I hate the earth because disposable cameras are terrible). Perhaps it’s time to upgrade!

I also love that you keep them displayed. That is perfect!

Jill, our girls + boys were on the fridge for a while ’til we transferred them all to the console vase. Miss you guys!

Heather, you make a great point – nixing the editing is so spontaneous and fun with this little guy!

So this post makes me think (yet again) that we should be real life friends. Hubster LOVES film, grew up shooting film and spent his high school in the dark room, and now uses a digital camera for our photography business because of economics. A few years ago a retro Polaroid gifted by his Grandma re-ignited his love of film. Now we own a ton of vintage polaroids, vintage film cameras and some new, fun toy cameras (including two of these Fujis) ;) There’s something about having an instant image (and not having to edit anything on a computer) that has made photography fun again. I love it because we’re better about documenting our lives and our vacations.
