Shake It Like A Poladroid Picture
I’ve always been a fan of Polaroids. I got my first one, a hand-me-down SX-70, when I was 8 or 9, and have been kind of addicted to buying them from Value Village ever since. I think I have about 6 or 7 different kinds that I’ve collected over the years. I was pretty bummed when Polaroid announced they were going to stop manufacturing their special brand of instant film earlier this year.
That’s why I got really excited when someone tipped me on this new app called Poladroid. It eats pictures from your digital camera and spits out lovely polaroid-style jpegs. It’s still in beta and the menus are in french, so you might have to dust off your Grade 5 texbook, but it’s worth it. Currently OSX only.
