For one, Polaroid is just cool. I remember wanting to shoot one when I was a kid when seeing some friend of my brother with one, but I was simply too little to be trusted, I guess. I have never pulled the trigger (more true than I ever knew till just recently, they really do have a trigger kind of mechanism) on a Polaroid. And second, I only have ten shots. That is just exciting in itself.

I know there are other folks out there who can understand this strange feeling, but I am just giddy at the thought. It will be the perfect way to catch those ethereally normal moments as our family makes a very big life change. And you can bet I will be writing notes on the bottom. That is just too cool to not have to do that in some computer software!
