Lucubration Station

I just bought a Polaroid camera.
Like so many others my love of photography draws me to Polaroids. They are so different and so distinctive.
I can still clearly remember the day dad brought one home from work for the weekend and took a photo of me and my brother up against the wall outside the laundry and I watched it develop. I must have been only about 5 or 6 and that memory is BURNED in my brain. I still have that picture somewhere. Im wearing a blue jumper and tracksuit pants and holding a bear.
So when I spotted one being put up for sale at the combined garage sale on the weekend I snapped it up.
With new camera in hand I began to dream mad schemes.
I had visions of purposes and opportunities.
Oh god, it was so damn exciting.

I got home that very same day and showed it off to my housemates.
Not even 10 minutes pass before Devo jumps online to look something completely unrelated up. He spots the top news story, the lead article on the news website on that very day at that very time.

End of the line for Polaroid Film
Polaroid quits instant film
Polaroid pulls the plug

I still have one main aim before the film becomes completely unavailable. I want to take mugshots of everyone I know. One photo of each person and get them to sign it. It's by no means an original idea but its going to be an ongoing project of mine.
I want a collection of people from 2008.
I will be coming to collect you and I dont have much time
