Polaroid Corp to end film lines....

"Polaroid Corp., the Massachusetts company that gave the world instant film photography, is shutting down its film manufacturing lines in the state and abandoning the technology that made the company famous."

That just seems so sad to me.

I've come to the opinion that the film/digital evolution is a bitter-sweet situation.

My first camera was a cheap Polaroid instant-film camera. It is sad, but conversely, I haven't touched it in 20 years. I guess I'm part of the problem.

and the large format guys. I go through boxes of polaroids pretty quick. Probably 2-3 boxes a month.

I saw this the other day...I can't believe it. Bryan and I took our Polaroid on our last road trip and took some cool pictures. I work at a NICU up here and we have one and take pictures all the time of our babies if they do something cool or cute so the parents can take them home with them that second. Hopefully another company will sign on to manufacture

Fuji will still make some instant films.
