There is Nothing Like a Polaroid Picture

For those of us old enough to remember them, the ubiquitous white framed picture was both instant gratification and a treasured memory you could keep. It was a way to look at the fun you JUST had way before smartphone cameras took over. For people my age and older, this kind of photography is a trip back to our youth. For the newer generation, I see an appreciation of the look and feel of the Polaroid picture. An appreciation of authenticity that was taken for granted back when film was the only option. Back when the pictures you took depended on the amount of film you had. 



Authenticity and limitations are the key to its magic. 



Like us, each Polaroid image is one-of-a-kind. Its imperfections are what make it unique and real. Its versatility also makes it special. A Polaroid can be artsy, moody, joyful, and goofy. In other words, it's really a lot of fun!

However this business venture turns out, I know it will turn out great images and smiles. I thank you for joining me on this adventure and please contact me if you need a Polaroid photographer for your event or party. I also shoot digital if you want that as well. Otherwise, I'll see you out at San Diego's best spots! If you see me, come say hi, I'll probably try and take your picture.
