Polaroid memories

davidw — Mon, 05 May 2008 19:16:12 GMT

Polaroid is saying goodbye to its iconic, white-bordered instant pictures. It expects to stop selling the film next year.

Generations of photographers have watched Polaroid pictures develop almost magically before their eyes, but digital photography has made the instant photos seem less instant.

We want to see your favorite Polaroid pictures, whether they're from an old family album or a recent art project.

Send us your photos and tell us if you'll miss your Polaroid cameras.

'Staycation' all you've ever wanted?

Forget far-flung journeys to exotic locales. Many vacationers are taking "staycations," spending time in their homes and at local attractions. Have you ever taken a staycation, and what made you stay close to home?

Jump on iReport.com and send us digital postcards and videos from your adventures. Were you able to rediscover long-neglected hobbies? Did you find new treasures in your own backyard? Give us a tour of the special "vacation spots" inside your home, beside the pool and in your town. Show us where you went and chronicle your not-so-distant getaway.

Note to self

Everyone makes notes to themselves. What notes have you written, and why? Do you refer to them, and how do you use them?

Take a video or photo of notes you've written to yourself and explain why you've written them. Then, share your story with iReport.com. Tell us about your little anecdotes, sketches and reminders.

It’s not a manctuary, it’s a MAN CAVE

davidw — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 12:37:33 GMT

Gone are the days of the den or the garage being "dad's domain." These days, men of all ages need a man cave, not just an extra room, or grown up version of a tree house where no girls are allowed.

We're talking about a space that fosters your hobbies, gives you free reign to hang your beloved blow-up deer head trophy and and has all the amenities you crave at your fingertips.

So, let's see it, big guy! What makes your man cave more awesome than your neighbor's? Grab your camera and take some snapshots of the finest points of your space, or take us on a video tour and show off everything from your power tools to your gaming center.

Share your photos and video and let the world know what a man cave is all about.
