Polaroid is “liberating” your photos from the “confines of their digital devices” by opening 10 retail stores in 2013 called FotoBars where you can edit and print your images.
It’s painful to hear an old photography company that is attempting to revitalize itself call photo printing stores “cool and hip,” but the premise actually sounds both cool and hip. You’ll be able to upload photos to Polaroid’s workstations, which from the image look to be Apple computers, from your smartphone, camera, or social networks. From there, you’ll be able to edit the photos and add filters if the photo doesn’t already come from Instagram. Once you’re done, you can choose a material to print on, a frame (if you want one), and Polaroid will ship you the image within in a few days.
