Hm. I’ve got a Polaroid with a flash, now to find a Selectric with an Orator typeball…
But I wonder if some photography geek would be able to identify newer Polaroid film through some subtle tell.
Adam Savage had a great piece on properly replicating the ID cards used in Blade runner. A warehouse full of contemporary office equipment and consumables for all eras.
Except that it’s not newer film. Sitting in the camera for 30 years might leave a trace.
I still cannot figure why the Dominion assassinated Senator Vreenak.
I’ve got one in my Rumpelkammer1). Not sure about the golfball’s font though.
You see, ten years ago or so I had this idea that it would be neat to turn it into a bluetooth keyboard…
1) Not to be confused with Wunderkammer; those are neatly ordered and curated.
