I thought I’d drop a quick note before the weekend. I was surfing through the design submissions and I came across a couple submissions that caught my eye. Maybe I’m old school or maybe I’m interested in the lost art of Polaroids.

I haven’t held a Polaroid camera in probably 15 years. One of my co-workers turns out to be a huge instant pic fan. I came across her desk and her pile of Polaroid pictures that she took on her way to work. It brought back so many childhood memories. Nowadays we have the digital camera, so you can see your picture immediately. Polaroids were digital camera version 1 in the instant gratification department. It’s a little nostalgic to remember that old time feeling that you had when you took a Polaroid picture, waited a few minutes, waved it around and then magically saw that shot you just took.

The design name Sad SX-70 won’t mean much to the everyday person, but from my research it looks like this camera was a revolution device for Polaroid aficionado’s and the world of instant photos. The design is dead on like the camera on a black shirt. The only error that one Threadless commenter caught was that the picture is coming out in reverse. If they adjust that, this shirt will be great!

Verdict: 5$

Here’s another Polaroid inspired submission with a little inspiration coming from Harper Lee. The latest buzz here at lovesthreadless.com has been the Liberty shirt. I finally received my shirt and I love it. I think a lot had to do with the maroon color. I don’t own too many dark red shirts and I think the choice of shirt color makes To Spill a Mockingbird an awesome shirt. It also brings a little crime scene investigation theme. I like it!

Verdict: 5$
