As a child of the ’80s many of my memories were made with polaroid pictures — lots of instant family photos, huge grids of them pinned to the wall of my dorm room. The Polaroid of my youth stopped making film in 2008, though by then I had largely moved on to digital and medium format film photography. There are many twists and turns to the Polaroid story between then and now, but the device securely has a place in my heart. So while The Verge was in Vegas for CES I jumped at the chance to try it out, and I knew the perfect test shoot location.
