How to be Cool, Continued

Gotfilk here with another tip on how to be cool.

#2. Own a Polaroid Instant Camera

And, yes it has to be an authentic. An original. The whole sha-bang.

There’s something about Polaroids that just gives off an aura of coolness. To know that you have an iconic piece of technology in your hands that creates priceless pieces of art is just uh-maze-ing. And who says Polaroid cameras are now a hipster thing to own? In my opinion, they have always been cool.

Yep, that’s me and my Polaroid Impulse. I also own a Polaroid JoyCam and an i-Zone.

Film is pretty hard to find these days. I recently found two brand new, unopened packs of 600 instant film for my Impulse at a thrift store for $0.20 each. BONUS! You cant beat that price, compared to these prices.

But never fear! Mr. Pop Culture reports that the Impossible Project will begin manufacturing new Polaroid instant film this week! This is after two years the company stopped producing this type of film! WOOP!

So go out there and get your hands on one of these cameras before they become extinct. Search garbage cans, thrift stores, grandparents’ attacks, etc. When you find one,you will be that much closer to being cool.
