INSTANT GRATIFICATION: A Polaroid Party

7 August 2009 by 5 Comments

ISMCommunityAhh…polaroid photos. Press a button. You’re blind for a split second, then you start flailing your arms everywhere. It’s a process that we’ve seen people do and have done ourselves many times.

Sadly, Polaroid stopped producing their beloved instant cameras in 2007 and will stop producing their instant film this year. (the 600 series is supposedly going to expire today!) There is a chance for you to relive those moments and also the moments of hundreds of others.

The Hibbleton Gallery in Downtown Fullerton will be opening an exhibit called “INSTANT GRATIFICATION: a polaroid party” TODAY at 7pm. (Check below for the address!) If you can’t make it today then it’s no problem either because the exhibit closes at the end of the month, so you have plennnnttty of time!

INSTANT GRATIFICATION will have hundreds, if not thousands, of original one of a kind Polaroid photographs on the walls from the floor to the ceiling. I’m excited for this event because I’ve always loved taking pictures and the process of taking and developing the photo.

Do you plan on attending INSTANT GRATIFICATION? A couple of us will be going to the opening reception tonight so if you’re there, tweet @vitaminOC and we’ll try and find you. ;)

Be sure to comment about some of your favorite blinding, arm-flailing, polaroid photograph memory!

    Christmas parties at President Gordon’s House. Every year, all of our photos with Santa were taken with a Polaroid. I think I threw them away :(

    Patrick and I visited this today and it was really cool! I really liked looking at all of the Polaroids individually and seeing how they all come together in the room. If you have 15-20 free min in downtown Fullerton, make sure to stop by and check it out.
