Fake polaroid photos aren't real!

Yeah, well digital photos aren't real either. They're just zeros and ones representing photos. Furthermore, photos aren't real things, they're just pictures of the things themselves. While we're at it, the things you look with your eyes at aren't really the things themselves, they're just light that's been reflected off them, and the appearance of an "image" of the scene is a mere illusion!

Finally, the way you compare a picture with your remembrance of a scene is utterly artificial. Your memory is fallible, mostly reconstituted from broad sketches and details filled in from similar pictures. Everything is fake! Get over it.
