Polaroids of New York ON SALE

This project has peaked my interest in the art of Polaroid photography. I've been  a huge chunk of spending my free time researching the resurgence of people taking Polaroid pictures.  When I think about it, it's actually not that far-fetched for a riding trend in using instant film when it's about to die.  Everyone loves retro; it's cool, it's arts-y, it shows you have intellect (supposedly).

I stumbled on this website where a guy was selling Polaroids of New York for anywhere from $5 USD to $50 USD.  Now that might seem a bit price-y, but then again, who can put a dollar sign to a dying art?  Joe, the photographer, will mail anyone a picture of anything in New York.  He lists sites such as Coney Island, Brooklyn Bridge, the view from the top of the Empire State building to everyday things like rush hour traffic jam, snobby upscale art gallery, and his apartment.
