I recently heard that Polaroid is calling it quits on the whole instant picture scene. Yeah this was bound to happen with the digital camera age upon us. But if you look at the quality of the pictures of the Polaroid vs the digital camera you will see a much bigger loss than that of the American way, I call it the” I want it now” syndrome.

America to me is obsessed with “wanting it now and wanting it big” i.e fast food, 100 oz soda drinks.

I guess it was not fast enough and Polaroid film has a certain look to it that many over look, a certain 70’s and 80’s look that I just can’t describe. Yes, I had a Polaroid camera for a bit and I know that the film is super expensive and the only way of copying it is to scan it. But surely worth the picture when you see the marvelous brown and yellow tones.

So with that being said, I will be sad to see you go from the instant film business, Polaroid. You were a good friend, and made me look like I knew what I was doing when taking pictures.

Polaroid did make enough film to last until 2009 and hopefully someone will be buying the recipe to make instant film and not charge too much for us Polaroid people.

UPDATE!- found this blog to save the Polaroid get er done and sign a petition or something
