THE MODERN EIGHT-YEAR-OLD DISCOVERS POLAROIDS by Aida Guhlin
She found these old disposable Polaroid cameras in our drawer while we were searching for batteries. I explained to her how they worked, quickly, because I use game time as exercise time, and this futile dig through the miscellaneous drawer for batteries was cutting into it. She looked at the circle on each one carefully and found two with numbers other than “0” and excitedly exclaimed that she could take some pictures. There were a few poses by me and then some by her, and she wound out each picture excitedly. I thought it was hilarious - how many times had I been delighted at the idea of snapping some pictures through that little plastic rectangle, going to the store, and having them converted into pictures? But she lived in the age of digital photography, where she could snap a picture and instantly see how it turned out. Then, take another picture if that first one didn’t turn out correctly. Which made me wonder, why did she enjoy those little dispoable cameras so much? Was it because those pictures would have to be purposefully taken to a store to be retrieved? That they would then be solidly pictures in her hand, unchangeable (at least immediately) and she would have nothing but what she had? What beauty was there to that? Unchanged, unchanged, these pictures of me and her. If they didn’t work out, she couldn’t immediately command us into formation again. She could get only what she had of that moment. That one, irretrievable moment on a sunny, summer afternoon in a corner of our kitchen. Maybe it’s because the camera was from another time, with twenty-something pictures taken from years before her existence and then she could suddenly appear, 8 years old and alive. She could stick herself onto the end of the film strip, and edit herself into our family. Maybe that’s why she loved the cameras. Or did she just think it was a fun way to spend her time as I anxiously tore through a drawer full of everything I didn’t need and barren of what I did? I didn’t ask.
