Falling Out of Love

Polaroid photographs possess a very specific and haunting sense of their time. While the first Polaroid *instant* camera (Model 95) came out in 1947, it wasn’t until the sixties really that *Polaroids* became an integral part of American culture. It was popular, too, in Europe, and Asia but not quite like in the US. I remember my father talking about instant cameras when I was still very small. I remember our family having one and my father’s sense of pride in being a part of the currents of progress. But now, when looking back at old Polaroid instant photos, one feels, or at least *I* feel, a certain nostalgia and a sense of melancholy, too.
