I remember having several Polaroid cameras; I have several Polaroid shots saved from high school in a drawer, so my last use was sometime in the 80s.</p> <p>I picked up a used SX-70 off of eBay and so far, so good. Sure brings back good memories. When my wife heard the click-and-eject of the Polaroid, she almost fell off her chair. The dogs too; you can see Daisy&rsquo;s cocked head as the film came out. Such a classic sound. Thank you to the last remaining factory in the Netherlands still producing this film. You can watch a great YouTube video about it: <a href="https://youtu.be/uxPH7CB19h0">Life at the Last Polaroid Factory in the World</a>.</p> <figure class="cliff-polaroid" style="--polaroid-tilt: 1.08deg;"> <input class="cliff-polaroid__toggle" type="checkbox" id="polaroid-df075be9cb" aria-label="Flip this Polaroid print to read the back"> <label class="cliff-polaroid__card" for="polaroid-df075be9cb" title="Click anywhere to flip the print"> <span class="cliff-polaroid__inner"> <span class="cliff-polaroid__face cliff-polaroid__front"> <span class="cliff-polaroid__photo-area" role="img" aria-label="A Golden Retriever looking at the camera." style="background-image: url('/uploads/2026/8f025623d6.jpg');"></span> <span class="cliff-polaroid__front-caption"> <span class="cliff-polaroid__front-title">River</span> <span class="cliff-polaroid__front-date">Home Sweet Home · Aug 2026</span> </span> </span> <span class="cliff-polaroid__face cliff-polaroid__back"> <span class="cliff-polaroid__black-panel"> <span class="cliff-polaroid__details"> <span class="cliff-polaroid__row"> <span class="cliff-polaroid__label">Camera:</span> <span class="cliff-polaroid__value">SX-70</span> </span> <span class="cliff-polaroid__row"> <span class="cliff-polaroid__label">Film:</span> <span class="cliff-polaroid__value">Color 600</span> </span> <span class="cliff-polaroid__row"> <span class="cliff-polaroid__label">Location:</span> <span class="cliff-polaroid__value">Arizona</span> </span> <span class="cliff-polaroid__row"> <span class="cliff-polaroid__label">Date:</span> <span class="cliff-polaroid__value">August 9 2026</span> </span> </span> </span> <span class="cliff-polaroid__back-footer"> <span class="cliff-polaroid__imprint" aria-hidden="true"> <span class="cliff-polaroid__imprint-brand">Polaroid Film B.V</span> <span class="cliff-polaroid__imprint-serial">55128248426</span> <span class="cliff-polaroid__imprint-fine"></span> </span> <span class="cliff-polaroid__note">River Bear in all his beautiful blurry Polaroid style! </span> </span> </span> </span> </label> </figure>
