Staying on the camera theme, Are you old enough to remember the old Brownie cameras and Polaroid picutes?

I did see a Polaroid once in my teens....was fascinated by the instant pic too.

Oh gosh. I had a box Brownie, then a Kodak Instamatic, then a Polaroid. It is so much easier taking pictures on a phone and they come out better.

I remember those old-school cameras that you actually had to get film for and you had to get the film developed so you can see your photos. I remember the Polaroid camera but never got a chance to use these. Aren't Polaroid cameras making a comeback?

Yes, I had a Polaroid when I was a teenager. My dad was a good amateur photographer and developed his own photos, so he usually had one of the better cameras. My folks didn't spend a lot of money, but that camera thing was important to him. The other day on Facebook, I heard a lot of people are looking for the Brownie cameras right now. I never had one of those but I sure remember them.

We did own a Polaroid, it was fun to see the photo right away, but I must say that the quality was horrible.

I sure am old enough to remember the Polaroid camera my children liked to have their pictures taken When my son graduated from pre-school I took pictures of that time. Other wise I took pictures of the outdoors with lakes and streams all the time.

I think we still have a Brownie in an old trunk. We might have traded it in for a different camera. Not sure, it was a long time ago. I had a polaroid, also. I am grateful for smartphones and digital cameras that take the misery out of photography.
