Polaroid has provoked some famous passions. Andy Warhol took instant pictures of everyone who passed through the Factory, John Waters of everyone who visited his apartment, and Jamie Livingston a Polaroid-a-day for the last eighteen years of his life. I often get asked if I am also a Polaroid fanatic, a lover of all things instant. Do I take my Polaroid with me everywhere? Do I have a huge collection of cameras in the basement? The truth is, before I started this project, my experience of Polaroid photography was similar to that of many others who grew up in North America in the 1970s and 1980s. My family had a Polaroid OneStep camera that came out of the closet for short bursts of activity before disappearing again for long stretches of time. There are Polaroid snaps of my eighth birthday party and of my high school graduation, and of a few events in between. Every Polaroid snap seemed like an event in itself, but for me, as for most, the Polaroid was an occasional camera.
