In Memory of Instant Photography

polaroid In Memory of Instant PhotographyI wasn’t surprised by the announcement that Polaroid was ceasing production of instant film, instant film is just one of latest digital photography victims, don’t get me wrong I love digital photography, but it’s not without it’s downside.

  • The art of making prints is all but lost.
  • Now EVERYONE is a photographer
  • Cell phones cameras are everywhere - privacy is non-existent
  • People learned the word ‘MEGA-PIXELS’

Pictured above are my (left to right); Kodak Kodamatic Champ, Polaroid OneStep CloseUp and my Polaroid SX-70 Land Camera (with sonar) just 3 of the notable 5 instant cameras I have - no doubt film will still be available, just at a premium price.

  1. I’ve never owned an instant camera. The good times I must’ve missed… :(

  2. Cool camera photos! I love vintage cams. My dad has a great collection. I love the old box cameras. I should photograph them and post em.
