Joachim Knill uses the world’s largest portable polaroid camera for his amazing photos, including this one of a genuine live fairy.

A Caveat is in order: One Bunk Strutts and one Metro had a very heated discussion in the comments section beginning in November 2008. We both walked away, bloody and sore, but survived the ordeal. That’s worth the price of admission by itself.

I was gonna suggest getting some Preparation P to control the flare-ups, but I won’t.

[...] from TackyRaccoons, come clear photographic proof of the existence of these delightful sprites. Polaroids, as everyone [...]

Steve– Sooner or later all Millers and Moths say that. (Besides, here’s the penultimate discussion.)

Yet another naysayer; WHEN will they learn that we listen only to PROOF!?

Well yes polaroids cannot be faked, and yes, fairies do exist, this looks like a painting. And it looks like a painting of a scarecrow fairy. I mean, look at it’s arms made of straw. It looks like someone made a fake one. Come on, it has an acorn for a head! This is obviously a painting or something. And fairies do exist, I’ve seen the proof.

Sara– It’s a well-known fact that many fairies are chimaera, shape changers, especially in the presence of humans with giant polaroid cameras. This one appears to be a rare meadow fairy in full camouflage regalia. But have no fear the Fairy Proof is here.

I may like fairies, but this is not a fairy. It looks like a “scare crow” to me. This picture looks like photo made in those animation programs Like 3Dmax,CRD ect.

Angel– Go to the link above (Joachim Knill) and you’ll not only see that it was not photoshopped, but that he’s titled it “Scarecrow Fairy.”
