About this Event
Co-Founder of Polaroid and the inventor of the “Land Camera”, I thought it would be fun to do a photowalk in celebration of his birthday.
A few years ago, I did this with some fellow instant film enthusiasts, so it seemed like it was time to do this again.
WHEN
May 7, 2026 @ 6:30 PM
Sunset is at 8:29 PM
WHERE TO MEET
Hing Hay Park
423 Maynard Ave S, Seattle, WA 98104
We will meet up at Hing Hay Park in the International District and wander around the area for some photos! If the group wants, we could wander towards the waterfront if it seems like the sunset will be awesome.
WHAT TO BRING
- Bring your fave instant film camera, Polaroid or Fujifilm cameras are welcome.
- Recommend bringing cameras that use 600 film or Instax, since we will be out closer to sunset.
- Consider bringing a tripod if you want to try some slower shutter speeds.
