"“I wanted to use the camera the way I originally used such a device in the 1970s and 80s…to capture an immediate memory. My art is about discovering one's 'True Self,' and Polaroid cameras have been an important tool in assisting in this truth-finding and free expression.” ~mentioned Gary Baseman.

I've always loved the concept of polaroids, but only have had utilized them for 'work' previously, and that alone is an expensive endeavor to be had then, IMHO.
