Yes, in fact -- it's a standard practice in my web design class. Haven't posted my current classes, but you can take a gander at my previous term's class (and if you want to see some HIDEOUS code, view the source -- I did it in PageMill 3 as an example of the butchery WYSIWIG Editors can do). http://idt.net/~raboyle/ns/3245map.html. Then there's the babblefest announcement, featuring a truly hideous polaroid of me taking my own photo at http://idt.net/~raboyle/babble/babblefest.html.
The great thing about Polaroids is that they are the Great Equalizer. EVERYONE looks hideous on Polaroid film. It also gives the viewer the effect that they may have actually been there -- they always have that, oh, 0.15 BAL, glased-over look to them, making you wonder just how much you may have had to drink and why is this party missing from your memory?
Oh, Polaroids also make GREAT Christmas tree decorations. I kid you not.
