Death of Polaroid

"it's almost like watching a memory form right before your eyes"

In incredibly sad news Polaroid is ceasing production of their instant film varieties, opting instead to focus on digital and television media. If the sky rocketing e-bay prices are any indication, there seem to be many who will deeply miss the format. I don't know what their sales figures look like but it seems like a premature move considering the recent success of lo-fi cameras like the Lomo.

CBC News Sunday did a short video news piece about the demise of Polaroid which you can watch here.

Here is a really great blog site created by a graphic designer/Polaroid enthusiast who encourages people to send in stories about why they love the film. They hope to convince Polaroid to change course. Let's hope so....
