What I learned

The pictures

Povember

• Polaroid is expensive.

Each shot cost me about £1.75.


• Polaroid needs light. A lot of light. I mean bathed in it. I wish I’d only taken shots in day time.


• Polaroid has a mind of its own. When I wanted abstract, I got representational. When I wanted representational, it got more abstract.


• Polaroid is cumbersome. I didn’t like having to fish a big camera out of my bag.


• Polaroid is conspicuous. That noise causes people to turn their heads.


That said, there’s nothing quite like it.


I’m glad I did #povember, but I probably won’t use Polaroid in the future.
