Polaroid camera

i wish to include several photographs within my diary which represent childhood and so i have just purchased a vintage 1970's polaroid camera off ebay. i wanted to capture these images using a polaroid camera to emphasise the passing of childhood and to illustrate the time in which my parents used to take photographs of myself as a child.

i also want to convey the progression of life and by using something of the past it shows how far we have come and where we are now. by this representation of change, i want it to captualise the dramatised way in which we change as people and yet we can still use past memories of photographs in order to instill ourselves in nostalgia and use our previous mistakes and turn them into lessons learnt for our present and our future.

Basically, the use of polaroid photographs represent a 'memory' associated with childhood.
