WOOT! It’s Spring Polaroid Week 2015, fellow viewfinders! Every day this week, instant photographers around the world will share in their love of this photography medium. All the action takes place over on Flickr where photographers are allowed to post two photos per day to the group pool for this festival of instant film worship. Many people “save up” photos just for this very week because everything that gets posted during Polaroid Week has to be never-before-shared photographs. The images that photographers post in this community are truly a feast for the eyes.

To get you excited and encourage you to participate in this week’s Polaroid Week, I thought I would share a few of my instant photos that I have shared during previous Polaroid Weeks…

A self-portrait from my 365 Impossible Self-Portraits project…

One of my favorite portraits from a session I did with a dear friend…

And a simple still life…

Fuji100C_Dying-Rose_rs-vfAlthough it’s called “Polaroid Week,” all types of instant film can be used and shared. That means IMPOSSIBLE Project film, Polaroid film, Fuji FP-100C, Fuji Instax…and on and on.

And as if participating and enjoying everyone else’s fabulous instant photography wasn’t enough to make this week great, the IMPOSSIBLE Project has generously offered to give away a pack of their new black and white film to FIVE of our ViewFinders readers! For your chance to win a pack of this film, leave a comment to this post by Thursday, April 23rd, at midnight EST!

Happy Polaroid Week!
