Polaroid Corp shutting business
SadnessWhich is kinda sad, considering i only just bought the Spectra couple of months ago. Looks like i need to buy more and shoot as much as possible before the stock runs out or increase in price!
Thinking about it a little longer, it's quite a pity that the polaroids will die off like this. Historically, polaroids were the first to make instant films, sending shockwaves through the photographic community with its technology.
Soon, amateurs, professionals and basically anybody can have instant photos, no need to wait for the lab to develop them. Polaroids were used in various applications, like a preview for professional photographers for checking exposures, or some form of legal documentation, police use them for suspect identification and of course the public use them for parties, etc.
Over the years, it became some sort of a culture and polaroids gathered quite a number of following.
I find the best thing about them isnt the fact that i get instant photos, but to me the polaroids represent the ONLY proof of that particular moment in time. Frozen forever in that little piece of film.
It's sad what the digital age has done to good old fashion fun.

Ok guys, this truly is freaky, the
Phone literally rang as soon as I read
The last word of this email!!!!!
I am taking the bait -
What do I have to lose right?
Hope it works!
Supposedly The Phone Will Ring
Right After You Do This.
Just read the little stories and
Think of a wish as you scroll all
The way to the bottom. There is
A message there - then make your
Wish.
No attachment on this one.

Stories
I'm 13 years old, and I wished
That my dad would come home from
The army, because he'd been having
Problems with his heart and right
Leg It was 2:53 p .m.. When I made
My wish. At 3: 07 PM . (14 minutes
Later), the doorbell rang, and
There my Dad was, luggage and all!!
I'm Katie and I'm 20 and I've been
Having trouble in my job and on the
Verge of quitting. I made a simple
Wish that my boss would get a new
Job. That was at 1:35 and at 2:55
There was an announcement that he
Was promoted and was leaving for
Another city. Believe me...this
Really works!!!
My name is Ann and I am 45 years
Of age. I had always been single
And had been hoping to get into a
Nice, loving relationship for many
Years. While kind of daydreaming(and right after receiving this email)
I wished that a quality person would
Finally come into my life. That was at
9:10 AM on a Tuesday. At 9:55 AM
A FedEx delivery man came into my
Office.He was cute, polite and
Could not stop smiling at me. He
Started coming back almost everyday(even without packages) and asked me
Out a week later . We married 6
Months later and now have been
Happily married for 2 years.
What a great email it was!!
Just scroll down to the end, but
While you do, think of a wish.
Make your wish when you have completed
Scrolling. Whatever age you are, is the
Number of minutes it will take for your
Wish to come true. Ex.you are 25 years
Old, it will take 25 minutes for your wish
To come true).
However, if you don't send this to
People in 5 minutes, you will have bad
Luck for years!!
Go for it!!!
!
SCROLL DOWN!!!!
