So Polaroid is closing up shop — they just couldn’t swing with the digital camera. So sad, but Nicole Kenny and KS Rives are giving the camera company a swan song by taking portraits and asking people “What do you want to do before you die.” The person writes their goal on the white space and presto, a whole website full of goals. Ambitions range from living in other countries, to singing on Broadway, fame, family goals and my personal goal of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. Check out the book that coincides with the project, where countless grainy faces type out tiny sentences of hope. It makes for an interesting way to spend your Wednesday.

We don’t have a Polaroid, but we do have a comment section: what do you want to do before you die?

I just want to die fighting off a horde of zombies. If I can go out like that, anything between now and then is just gravy.
