Capturing adventures one polaDROID at a time..

Thanks to a friend of mine, I recently discovered an amazing application for your computer called POLADROID , which allows you to convert your normal, run of the mill photo's into authentic, vintage-type Polaroids. Brilliant.

I find it intriguing that although we have progressed so much with regards to photographic technology, somehow photo's taken with Polaroids and old film camera's seem to capture the hearts of many. Maybe it's because it has nostalgic connotations to the past, or maybe it's because some of us don't have the desire to confirm to the "newest, latest technology", but all I know is that there's something about a Polaroid that makes a picture beautiful and timeless.

So now back to my discovery. Go onto Google and type in 'Poladroid' ,then follow the download and installation instructions and bam, you have the ability to create some beautiful photographs.
Here are a few of my adventures that have been captured with my Poladroid application.

My Bucket List...

A Bucket list : ‘ A list of things to do before you die. Comes from the term “kicked the bucket”. ‘  (UrbanDictionary.com)

Lately I have been watching a show on MTV called ‘The Buried Life’ which involves a group of friends who have composed a bucket list for themselves and set out to complete everything on their list. Their ideas range from playing golf with President Barack Obama to throwing the “biggest, most bad-ass” house party. Of course there is also the famous movie titled the Bucket List which is along the same lines as this MTV show and is also the inspiration behind this post. I was so moved and inspired by the concept of a bucket list that I’ve decided to compose my own one .

So here it is :
