Old news: Last year Polaroid stopped making instant film. Gone are the land cameras and square images, and instant memories archived on what once was a genius medium: instant photographs, that only minutes after capture are processed and ready to fit right into an album, onto a dashboard, into a pocket, a picture frame, a scrapbook. Digital can't even say that. The announcement of the end of instant film prompted me to buy some 600 Polaroid film and keep it for a rainy day. I am currently working on a gallery of images and themes and concepts all shot with my remaining Polaroid film. The image below is not one of those shots, but let's call it a homage to the land camera, Polaroid film, instant memories, and a time when not everyone craved the HD experience.

Amen brother.
The age of instant film is not complete over Fuji film is still making instant cameras and film. Most of which can only be bought in Japan they just came out with one the instax mini 7 Cheki the picture is the size of a credit card. The cameras them self don't have the same feel of a Polaroid. But I still hope Trevor gets me the hello kitty mini for X-mas. hehehehe
