Instant Love

The other day I was reading stuff that Peppermint shared with me in Google Reader, when I came upon something I could not take my eyes off of. It was gorgeous. And it brought back so many childhood nostalgic memories (again!), even though it is something new and not old. I had to order it.

It came today. Happy mail from Japan.

It's a Fujifilm Instax Mini 7. An instant camera, like a polaroid, but still alive! When I heard about the death of Polaroid back in January, I felt sad about an era gone.  Now my nostalgia can be captured again, on little credit card sized instant prints.

I  like the colors on this. I can't wait to try it outside with sunny blue skies and see how it looks. I even found a Flickr group dedicated to the Instax.

Little wallet-sized instant photos.  Now I can still shake it like a polaroid.  :p
