Polaroids were well used, but photographers seemed to turn to them even more during the digital age and these days, particularly when they got discontinued (though they're now remaking them again) they got very popular.
I came across Noah Waldeck's work and find it fascinating. He has a blog where all of his images go. It was particularly interesting to go through all of his polaroid posts. I love the simplicity of his polaroids.
Something I love about polaroid is that it leaves you to concentrate just on the image. You have so little control over anything except framing and what goes in the image, but I think this helps because you concentrate on capturing a subject rather than getting perfect lighting.
Anyway, Waldeck's work is great and perfect inspiration for when my polaroid films arrive.
I particularly like this image. The reflections in the window are what make it, and the figure in the foreground, but only seeing the expression faintly in the reflection.
