Polaroid (Instax Mini) Fun

Around 8 or 9 years ago, I purchased an Instax Mini instant film camera. At the time (and for several years after) I thoroughly enjoyed using it and it was a lot of fun. I then took a break from it for a few years- the film felt expensive to me at the time (I was broke) and I remember not really liking the results of some of the photos. So with those two aspects combined, I shelved it for a while and concentrated more on the digital side of my photography.

I had been thinking about getting a battery and some film for it again for several months now and it was a few weeks ago I just thought: 'yep, you know what, I'm just going to do this!', which is just what I did! And to my surprise it still worked! Having had a break from using it, I've come back to it with a different mindset and I'm really enjoying the results. Yes, not all of them come out well, but that is the nature of analogue photography. And the more you use it, the more you learn about how to use it and the types of subjects/ lighting it works best with...
