Call me cliche but I’d love to have a Polaroid camera again. I like that you can write the date and captions right onto them and remember as soon as you pick it up. Mostly I like it because you get a sort of authenticity you can’t get with digital cameras or camera phones. Once a picture is online or stored on a hard drive it becomes transmissible. Anyone can see it at any time in any given context, but when it’s one single picture with one single copy, that memory can belong to you forever and the value of it is untouched and purely your own. You know?
