The Death of Polaroid

Ugh, sadly I just read an article about how the Polaroid film is going to be discontinued - FOREVER! While I knew this was coming, due to digital cameras and pictures, I am still very sad to see it go. I have fond memories of this unique kind of film and camera. My father is a photographer and I can distinctly remember taking portraits and pictures on vacations using Polaroids. A few months ago I even bought a Polaroid camera at Goodwill...it doesn't work, but its a good example of how much they mean to me.

I mean, really, Polaroid pictures can be among the most artistic pictures around. That white boarder is just so memorable. Nothing looks more cool than a wall or cork board covered in original Polaroids. This really is a sad time.

Here is the article : Fans bid farewell to Polaroid film
