This day finally came. Two analog names joined forces to create this special edition set with a modern day twist: Moleskine notebook + Polaroid PoGo portable photo printer (check out polapremium.com) Although the Polaroid name became all digital in recent years with the discontinuation of film production, the set really created convenience to people who like to do photo journaling in real time. I've been searching for options to do just that - taking photos and writing things down at the same time, during travel or when touching moments come.
My own version of this photo journaling practice used to be
"Polaroid SX-70/SLR690 + Moleskine" but due to the difficulty to find 600 films, I switched to
"Fujifilm Pivi MP300 + Moleskine" (
Photo Journaling A Lot Easier with Pivi). It is less satisfying and less instant but still I can achieve my purpose.
The missing element of this PoGo+Moleskine set is the camera itself. So instead of an instant camera plus a notebook, you carry around your digital camera, PoGo and a Moleskine notebook. Sometimes it makes a huge difference but I guess this is just a transition to the future when digital camera will finally include instant print function. It shouldn't be far away, look what Takara Tomy did with PoGo together, a product just like what I said called
Xiao.
