    Hello,

    I think about cultivating a new hobby. What do you think about collecting nudez? On polaroids?

    Regards

    I can't see much wrong with that.

    But it might be the kind of hobby that wouldn't take up much time.

    Hello,

    hm, getting the polaroids seems to be a challenge these days. You can spend a lot of time with that.

    The difference between Art and Porn is subjective - One wants to bear this in mind - methinks

    Hello,

    yepp, for some cameras file catridges are still available. I'm not 100 per cent sure, but I think the (or one) plant is in The Netherlands.

    Hello,

    well, I don't know yet. Years ago I collected electromagnetic waves. It is fun to find out wether they are man-made or from a natural source. And if they are man-made, what information do they carry. But somehow that hobby went out of my focus. Perhaps I should revive it again?

    Regards
    Gyro

    Did you keep them in a tin foil hat?

    it kind of depends... digital photos of yourself: incredibly easy. polaroids of other naked people: good luck.

    Why are polaroids of other naked people good luck?

    ^because polaroids and other naked people are both harder to find than the alternative.

    You could take a Polaroid of an already existing digi shot?
    Mind = blown.

    Goood morning,

    you are a great help answering this important questions ;).


    No, but sometimes I wish I had worn my tin foil hat more often while handling the electromagnetic waves.

    Regards

    Hello,

    ahh, you have so much insight. May I assume we share the same hobby ;)?


    That is so... hipster ;). Some people even fabricate fake polaroids with Gimp. That is lame.

    Regards

    Imagine what it would be like to use electromagnetic waves to re-fabricate all of the polaroid nudez that have been disposed of over time.

    The thing about the polaroid that was so cool at the time was taking nudes. Suddenly, you didn't have to send photos out to be developed and screened.

    Cool right? Yeah, until you have a moment in which you worry about the wrong people finding your nude polaroids and you throw them all away.

    I guess having a hobby of taking poloroids of electromagnetic waves could be fun. Not as fun as nudez but more challenging

    to each their own. collecting isn't much of my idea of a hobby. more of a con game where people sell each other crap for rediculous prices because its collectable. which means its rare. which often means its rare, because it was such absolute crap when it was new, that everyone threw it away, and that's why you can't find it any more. except from collectors who try to see what they can soak other collectors out of.

    now to me, a hobby is when you make some physical thing, and i don't mean the euphamism of making money, for yourself, because you enjoy the process of making it, or involves something else you do because you enjoy doing.

    and its not about competing with anyone either. unless that's what you really enjoy doing. and i've always thought that a little bit questionable too. although at least its more real then just being a spectator of other people competing.

    tin bugs can bite, and their sting eats holes in pockets and causes sever swelling of the ego. colectin bugs. according to the magic duplicator.

    Hello,

    hm, I have to think about it. I'm not too sure if that would be a good idea.

    I wonder how many copies for their private archives had been produced by the staff of the developing shops. Or they saw nudes so often in the heyday of film that they don't bother.

    Imagine the facial impressions of your relatives if they find these little box in the lower drawer of your nightstand after you died ;).

    Regards
    Gyro
