Off The Hook
February 25, 2008
On February 8, 2008 Polaroid Corporation announced that it will discontinue production of the instant film that made the company a household name. Save Polaroid serves as a home-base for the effort to convince another company to take over and begin producing the cherished technology that Polaroid has abandoned.Further to my previous post ~ Save Polaroid is a new website set up to promote the cause behind retaining the unique technology that lies behind Polaroid Instant Photography - watch this space! There is also the Save Polaroid Flickr Group and a 'digg this' save polaroid thang (see link below)! digg story
Camera: SX-70 with close-up accessory #121 Film: Polaroid SX-70 Time-Zero Integral Film
