POLAROID BOOK

On the recent wedding I work on, the bride and groom had a great idea to collect instant memories. Obviously my task is to tell a stories gathering all the love and details, but I think there is an important part of our memory that relates to more casual visuals. Too often nowadays digital compacts and mobile phones have infested the very special wedding event. Instead, purchase a light and bulky polaroid camera. Ask a friend to photograph your guests in the evening and stick all those images in a classic photo album. You can even take it with you straight to you honeymoon if you wish.
You can buy polaroid cameras and films too online. That is a little investment but in the end you get an instant result and avoid a lot of work gathering, selecting, retouching, editing, etc...time is money as we say, so here is your answer. It is stress free, smart and you have more time to enjoy the event without having to worry about the pictures.

TINY ARTICLE - BIG THINKING


This is what I found yesterday in the West End Final of the London Evening Standard Free Paper / Friday 19th August 2011. Nothing new to me but somehow, especially coming from a paper, a serious question is raised towards the reliability of the digital format as a whole. Either printing prints or making hardbacks are the only valuable and long lasting ways of keeping your cherished memories. That sounds a bit old fashioned but it becomes strangely revolutionary!
