I've just found out I have a love for photography, but have a lot of questions.
How do I get started? Where can I find film without going online? What film is cheapest? How do I get good pictures? It's recommended a short distance range, will it look good for long distance shots? is film actually suppose to be kept in a fridge? Is there anything else I should know about Polaroids?
