• Instant Photography Tips: Instax Love with Fuji Instax Mini 7!

  
  My dad gave me this Fuji Instax Mini 7 in 2004, and got me 3 packs as I remember those days. I was a high school student back then, and was about to learn analogue photography. On 2004 I don't know Lomography at all and in terms of instant photography all I know was Polaroid. So Polaroid = instant photography in my mind back then. But since I started to use Fuji Instax Mini 7, I began to love instant photography easily. Instax Love!
