Yet Another One Bites the Dust


They are going to stop making Polaroid film by the end of the year. That's right, digital is steadily gobbling up all "lesser" forms of photography. I mean I love digital but it would be nice to have a polaroid around because the pictures are so spontaneous and it's fun to wait around to see how wacky they turn out. (Case in point, the photo above of my friends Billy and Kathy posed next to their designs at Kent State in the 80s)

They used to be a mainstay in fashion photography but now most cameras are hooked up to a laptop for instant viewing. God, I'm old.
