Off The Hook

February 25, 2008

One of my favourite Polaroids. Once again I am going to post only images captured on Polaroid film for a little while here, to highlight the potential end of an era.

polaroid stripesOn 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)!

fantastic image, it transcends the medium on which it was made.

*Wails* NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! That's not right..I Love polaroids!
Someone else must learn how to make them if they stop... don't they know "what's old is new"? Bastages! I'll check out the flickr site.

Hey, that photo is one of my favs, too!
