I think the whole point of being with someone is so you can talk to them and let go of everything, and even when you’re at your worst, they still like you, they still want to speak to you and care about you.

No. 88 - The Polaroid Project: The List

Hey guys!

You may be wondering exactly what “The Polaroid Project” is, and where the idea came from. It all started some time in 2012 when it felt like every single one of my friends got a Polaroid camera overnight. This meant that the mountains of photos that were usually taken with an iPhone or someone’s SLR got developed straight away instead of being forgotten about until months later. Needless to say, the novelty of instantly printed photos lasted a while. It is now 2015 and not only do all my friends have Polaroid cameras, my 12-year old sister’s friends do too.

I created this “Polaroid Project” because I remember the feeling I got when I first got my Polaroid camera - nothing and everything needed to be captured on that tiny piece of film. So I’ve compiled a list of 100 things that I am going to take a Polaroid picture of, and I challenge you to do the same! :)

No. 27 - Go Fishing

As a kid I never really went fishing because it was more of a “boy thing” (extremely sexist, I know) but after having so much fun with my boyfriend’s family on their fishing trip, I decided I wanted to go on another one. Sadly the fish weren’t biting, but it was still loads of fun - I got to use my brand-new camera too :)
