Is anyone else noticing a lot more typos in articles and blogs lately? Can these respected publications not afford copy editing anymore? The typo above is obvious and in the first sentence. How can no one have noticed and corrected it by now?
I hope it turns out there's a market for Polaroid. Sometimes older, simpler product fade back in to popularity, much like how LPs are bigger now than they were 10 years ago. I'd like it if this were the case.
I don't like the word "hipster". It's meaningless. It really is.
I don't care who uses it. What I care about is that it exists. There's a special quality to Polaroid photos that I'd hate to see go, even if I'd understand if it did.
What the fuck does that even mean? My saying I don't think hipster is really a meaningful term, that makes me a hipster? Because hating hipsters makes you a hipster, too. Hipsters hate hipsters. But if I liked hipsters, then I'd have to be a hipster, because hipsters are so loathsome that only a hipster would love a hipster. It's a derivative and pathetic version of the Red Scare.
As hilarious as I find this whole exchange to be, I think hipster generally means someone who rebels against the mainstream fads by adopting alternative fads, which is somewhat ironic to non-hipsters.
So the hipster looks at mainstream people wearing abercrombie and says, "Blech!", talks about how bourgeois and uncultured those people are, and then play into the same sort of thing with horn-rimmed glasses and 1920's vintage clothing, or whatever the counterculture-du-jour is that season.
People knock hipsters because of a general sense of irony and hypocrisy of people who put down trend-followers by following different trends, and then being elitist about it.
Me? I don't rightly care. Live and let live and what not. But I can see how the sense of elitism expressed by doing the same general thing would be offputting to some people.
Well, Versace shades made it back, thanks to celebrities and their groupies. If a famous person is spotted by TMZ with a Polaroid camera, then it's ON.
Not only will it bring back an analogue version of the original Polaroid One, the most popular model of the instant camera, it will also manufacture a digital version.
Is the "Polaroid Two" instant digital camera made by Polaroid imaginary, or something?
