Group Description

We started POLAROID WEEK in 2006 to celebrate instant film. We also started it as a project -- to see what new and interesting things we could do with instant film; and to challenge ourselves to produce some really great work.

YOU MUST FOLLOW THE POSTING RULES.

# 1: Only photos you HAVE NOT posted on Flickr before are welcome. Give us something new. We delete all photos posted before the start date.

# 2: You get only (2) TWO photos a day. See Rule #1. (PS: In Flickr-world, a day = 24 hours. The Flickr clock resets itself at 8 pm EST)

# 3: It's six days, Sun - Fri. We realize a week is actually seven days, but we chose Sun - Fri because it's easier for us to manage as Administrators & Moderators.

# 4: Though we call it "Polaroid Week" ANY instant film is fine.

# 5: If you don't have a scanner, you can take a digital photo of your polaroid, but crop out everything but the instant photo, please.

# 6: No Faux-laroids. This is a FILM ONLY group, good people.

# 7: Please participate, as much as your schedule allows, in looking at and commenting on other people's postings, including adding your favorites to the discussion threads each day. The point is to look at as much instant-film work as possible for a week, and to keep our sense of community going, not just to show off!

We've been doing this for a while now, and we want to keep it simple and fun for everybody.
