New addition to the KP family

Okay, so it’s not what you’re thinking…at least not yet.BUT, we recently bought a Fuji Film Instant Camera (aka the Instax Mini 7S) and it arrived today! Woohoo! Not sure if any of you remember that thing called the “Polaroid”? Think glamazon head shots. Well, this is similar, but the pictures are slightly smaller. The camera itself is still funky-looking, in a good way, but sleeker. Some of the features include:

• Fujinon Lens – f=60mm
• Electronic Shutter 1/60 sec
• Auto Flash in low light, auto adjust
• Manual exposure compensation
• Image Size: 2.13″ x 3.4″

Clearly, we’ve already been having fun with it. Don’t get me wrong, this definitely won’t replace the masterful Polariod. Which is actually coming back…and, not only on E-Bay. But, it boasts the same benefits of fun and immediacy. The film is ridiculously expensive, of course, so we’ve been very conservative with our so-called practice shots.

P.S. – Not sure what the appropriate transition is here, but on a much more serious note, our hearts and prayers go out to the victims of the Haiti Earthquake, as well as to their families. If you’re interested in making a charitable contribution,  just text HAITI to 90999. Your $10 donation will go directly to the American Red Cross. Every little bit counts.

Peace.
