polaroids
Self-developing film pictures
Polaroids are photographs produced by instant cameras, which develop the image within minutes of being taken.
The word comes from the Polaroid Corporation, which pioneered the technology.
Though the brand name is trademarked, polaroids has become generic for any instant photo: We took polaroids at the party.
The format evokes nostalgia for pre-digital photography, with its distinctive square frame and slightly washed-out colors.
