\u00a0Ah, photography. It’s a love affair that lasts a lifetime. With my iPhone in my pocket I literally have a modern camera accessibly 24×7. I take photos of everything – indiscriminately, because I know that the potential for storage is limitless, thanks to over-the-air sync. What this has resulted in is a virtual warehouse of photographs. I honestly do not remember 80% of them, and they will probably never be seen again.\u00a0Whilst I absolutely LOVE digital photography, I miss the era of prints. Holding a photograph in your hands is a different feeling altogether (and I am SURE you agree).<\/span><\/p>\n Having a good camera is something every photography enthusiast wants. Photographs mark our memories forever. A person takes a lot of images in his lifetime but a very few of them get to take the form of a paper. Nowadays with the digital camera we are able to see the pictures right after clicking them instead of having\u00a0to wait for weeks for the photo to get developed. The origin of the instant camera was also motivated by one such incident. Edwin Land<\/a> (the creator of instant camera and later on went on to co-found Polaroid) was clicking his daughter one day when she asked \u201cWhy can\u2019t I see them now?\u201d This question gave him the\u00a0idea to create a camera through which people can see immediate pictures.<\/span><\/p>\n I’ve always been curious about instant prints – and the folks over at Fuji were kind enough to give us the\u00a0FujiFilms’s Instax Wide 300<\/a> and did some field testing. Here are five reasons I think instant cameras are totally AWESOME.<\/span><\/p>\n
