'You get the convenience of a smartphone camera and the ephemeral appeal of Polaroid film: white border, quirky colors, and all'
Photo: courtesy of the retailer There are a lot of mobile printers out there, and I have never been interested in any of them. Smartphone cameras now take great pictures. They have two or three lenses and a portrait mode that can at least imitate the quality of a high-end DSLR, but I find the photos don’t always translate well to printouts. At their worst, the prints look like darker, more pixelated versions of the originals. And when they do look good, I don’t know what to do with the print.
I brought the Lab home for Thanksgiving because I had a feeling it would be a hit with my parents and their friends. It was. By the end of the night, everyone was texting me pictures to print. My dad wanted a picture of him, me, and my mom posing by a canal on vacation in Amsterdam. He really got a kick out of watching it develop and said it reminded him of the old Polaroids he used to shoot.
Photography purists may take issue with the Lab, and I get that. It’s a high-tech knockoff of a classic process. I’d love to be the type of person to schlep a vintage Polaroid around and document everything, but I don’t have the patience — or the room in my bag. Thankfully, the Lab combines the best elements of digital and analog photography in an easy-to-use, fun package.
