The artisanal approach is a departure from the original Polaroid experience, which was all about instant gratification. But immediacy is no longer what’s missing in photography today. We can share any image with anyone in seconds with a couple clicks of a smartphone button. What our photographs lack today are the permanence of tangibility. Fotobar’s Struhl told me he thinks there’s a great hidden desire for that. (via Polaroid Fotobars: Retail stores will print out Instagrams, Facebook photos.)
