  • Comparing Analogue and Digital Photography for Amateurs Like Me

    (An advantage of using both is this concept. Not my own, maybe one day I’ll give it a go..) Investing in a Polaroid camera and a DSLR are quite possibly two of the best investments I have ever done. I never thought I’d ever be one to be interested in photography, but I always fancied…
