Old Polaroids

[NYWings]

The wife and I purchased an old ( not so old back then) Polaroid camera when we were first married.
We would never take any pictures where you had to have them developed but this gave us the opportunity to have fun with pictures and nobody knew.
Our first pictures were in the bedroom with curtains drawn.
We were so excited to see our pictures of us naked and playful.
We ventured outside and these were the best!
To bad those old pictures were poor quality and didn't last very well.
To make things worse we had a fire in our apartment and lost everything.

So I'm turned on by seeing photos of now and then pictures!
Love to see any sexy older ladies or gents ( my age group?) who just might have a pic or two from when they were younger.

Anyone else enjoy seeing theses or have anything to share?

You're right about the old Polaroids not being very good and lasting very long. There may be one or two around of me from the 70's that survived, and not very good either.

I dated an amateur photographer, (long before the digital age) who took B&W's and printed them in his basement. Much better quality than Polaroids.

No, I'm not going to post them.

Thanks for your reply.
It seems it was so much more "daring" or for us, sexually exciting, to do something as brave at this. I'm sure it was being done by others as well but without the internet and digital age you didn't know about it.
We were close with another couple and took some pics while skinny-dipping.
We learned they also enjoyed taking playful pics of themselves so that was perhaps the very beginning of a "soft swing" for us.

we have some and I enjoy taking them out every once in a while. I did scan a bunch a while back. I lost them when my computer crashed.

My wife used to take naked pics of me with disposable cameras and have them developed at Target. She also showed them to her mother (who is smokin' hot) and told her all about our adventures.

I love the looks I still get from MIL.

All of the pictures I've taken of my wife have been digital, starting with a 1-megapixel camera that I bought in college almost 14 years ago. Some nights, a photo of her when she was 20 and when our relationship was almost entirely built on lust is just what the doctor ordered.

Photos convey so much more than a moment in time. They share a subjects emotional state and that's what captures our interest years later. Be it remembered or guessed at. The desire present in the photos never really stops in photography. But I'm not posting mine either

I have some old "intimate polaroids" of lady friends from 20-25 years ago. I long since scanned them into digital files and trashed the hard copies. They tend to fade and lose color. It is fun to see what you looked like decades ago as well as wonder what they look like now that they may be grandmothers. I did see some recent pics of one of them on their facebook page and she still looks pretty good now even though she is pushing 60. I sometimes wonder if they remember doing the pics with me and wonder if I still have them. I regard them as true personal treasures and memories.

I possess accumulations of photos shot by relatives, as well as my own negatives and digital files. Some relatives have called upon me to pretty-up their binders filled with old photos: B&W, Kodachrome, Polaroid, the whole enchilada. Old color dyes fade and shift. Old Kodachromes are very orange. Old Polaroids darken and may also turn orange.

Aha! I have a scanner! I have used PaintShopPro for a long time! I know how to correct colors and mask scratches! I have restored many images to fairly pristine digital files. Loaded on a CD, they make memory-provoking slide shows. A cousin just gave me another batch to work on. Yeah, if you want something done, find a busy person to do it for you. ;(
