My favorite part about the polaroid camera is the lighting. I have been experimenting with this lately and have yet to be disappointed by the mysterious and inconstant behaviors of the exposure. Something about taking pictures of people is great with the polaroid too; as if it captures the entirety of the moment rather than what can be caught by the eye.

After I took these photos I went down to Hondori and bought more film, so I will add future photos onto this collection. Polaroids are how I am going to capture my memories of Japan. Why though? It is intriguing, cute, and something new- just like exploring Japan has been so far.
