It’s almost that time again! Polaroid Week Fall 2009 will be November 2–6. Participating is easy: make some pictures on any instant film and post them to the ‘Roid Week 2009 group<\/a> on Flickr (free accounts work).<\/p>\n

Don’t be scared off now that Polaroid means horrendously expensive<\/a>, you can play on the cheap: Fuji still makes really nice peel-apart instant film in both color<\/a> and black and white<\/a> that are cheaper than Polaroid was when it was in production. If you need a camera, you can grab a Holga-like, zone focus Polaroid Super Shooter or Super Shooter Plus on eBay for under 10 bucks, or a rangefinder-focused Automatic 100<\/a> [pic<\/a>] or Automatic 250<\/a> [pic<\/a>] for $25–30.<\/p>\n

Here are the ‘Roid Week guidelines:<\/p>\n

\nAbout ‘Roid Week Fall 2009<\/a><\/p>\n
Hello!<\/p>\n
POLAROID WEEK is a bi-annual celebration of all things instant!<\/p>\n
Here are the simple rules:<\/p>\n
* It’s five days. Monday thru Friday.<\/p>\n
* Pool opens at 6:00 am on Monday, Eastern Standard Time.<\/p>\n
* Pool closes at 12:00 am on Friday (technically, Saturday), Pacific Standard Time.<\/p>\n
* Members can post up to 3 photos a day.<\/p>\n
* Though we call it “Polaroid Week,” any instant film is fine.<\/p>\n
* No Poladroids! You have your own group to play in. This is a film only group.<\/p>\n
* Post photos you haven’t posted on Flickr before. Give us something new. We will unceremoniously delete all photos that do not meet this requirement.<\/p>\n
* And give us something good. This is our seasonal eye candy. Make it sweet.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
