What’s old is new and the obsession with Polaroids only grows. Famed director Wim Wenders just closed a show at London’s Blain|Southern gallery based on Polaroids taken while on set.

And just this weekend, on Mother’s Day, Outkast’s André 3000 joined Instagram with this inaugural image: an old Polaroid of him and his mom, and she’s carrying a Polaroid camera. Outkast, of course, gave us that earworm of a chorus line, “Shake it like a Polaroid picture! Hey ya!”
