Polaroid Moments

Sometimes we are so busy looking to the future we forget to appreciate the present. Life can rush by so fast that it can be easy to get overwhelmed and feel like you are missing the moment. We get so busy taking pictures, to upload to Instagram, to tweet to our followers, that sometimes we can completely forget to appreciate that moment that we are capturing and instead just worry about what filter to choose.

I'm trying to do this less, I still want to capture and share special moments but I want to capture them as they happen, however they happen and remember them that way, rather than remembering the 22nd take. It always makes me feel a little bit sad to think that one day we may have to explain what a real life photograph looks like. 

I'm absolutely in love with my Polaroid camera. The pictures aren't perfect, but they are real. And real is good.
