In Memory of Instant Photography
I 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.

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