We’re All Out of Polaroid

CNN Money | Polaroid shutters the Polaroid | February 8 2008: 5:22 PM EST | …via Engadget | Polaroid no longer does Polaroids

The photography company long known for its self-developing film cameras moves to focus on printers and digital technology.

“BOSTON (AP) — Polaroid is dropping the technology it pioneered long before digital photography rendered instant film obsolete to all but a few nostalgia buffs.”

The times they are a changin’… when I was a photo assistant we would drag CASES of Polaroid Instant Film all over the country - Shooting Polaroids was a part of the work day - the wait for the photo to develop, the smell… you could make the the little metal case into a picture frame… it all seems so “quaint”, like a typewriter or fax machine - Even the name sort of starts to sound like some over the hill retro b-movie horror flick character or something? LOL!

Heck I worked on ad shoots for Polaroid! LOL
