I’m really enjoying my Instax mini instant camera. I didn’t want to go back to home development, but really wanted to keep shooting #film.

I’ve found the social aspect of instant #photography very fun and I’ve also had a really good time doing street photography, especially monochrome.

A color Intax photo even ended up on Flickr Explore!

It’s been really interesting to use a kind of camera that’s been marketed to very casual users in a serious thoughtful artful way.

Yes, pros used to test their flash lighting with Polaroids, before actually shooting the scene with a medium format camera. No, most consumers don’t know about that or care.

I don’t want to get into fine art photography and don’t think I’d be good at it, but as a dedicated hobbyist, I’m having a really good time.
