A history in Polaroids and instant memories

Fall Polaroid Week is underway and we wanted to take this time, to reintroduce this long-standing tradition. Polaroid Week, aka ‘RoidWeek, is a bi-annual celebration of instant film held on Flickr in the spring and fall every year. This community-driven project started back in 2006 by Flickr members Cate and Lori. It continues to drive interest, encourage creativity and promote participation and is still going strong 18 years later. We hope you enjoy these photos from past ‘RoidWeeks. Make sure to follow the group links below to check out each group’s full photo pool for even more instant fun.
