We were at a thrift store --- the Family Value Thrift Center in Spring Branch, to be exact.  We love that place.  While digging through piles of cat figurines and Stephen King paperbacks, Caiti came across a Polaroid Land Camera.  It was white, with a rainbow stripe.  It was $8.

We took a leap of faith and tracked down some film for it.  Some nice hipsters down at The Impossible Project had film that would work with old Polaroid cameras, but at $23.99 a box, it wasn't cheap.

This was the first photo we took with the Polaroid.  Well, actually, our friend Ed took this photo of us using the Impossible Project film we ordered online.  We were a little surprised that the camera worked at all.

This is a $3 photograph.  A $24 pack of film has 8 exposures in it.

This shot wasn't scanned until several weeks later.  It was blurry and monochrome to begin with, but it had lost a lot of definition since it was taken.  The moral of the story?  Scan your prints right away. 

Taking a picture of an Instamatic with Hipstamatic.  So meta...  Note our recycle bins, overloaded bookcase, and guitar.  We live like damn hippies.
