Bye-bye Polaroids

I can’t believe Polaroid is actually going through with this, but they’re discontinuing Polaroid film and cameras! 

A pack of the film does set you back about $30 and only gets you nine shots, but there is something so wonderfully nostalgic about Polaroids that I don’t want to let go!

And what about the whole fashion industry?  Every shoot I’ve ever been on I've had to make sure the stylist got a quick Polaroid of what I had on just in case we had to re-shoot something. Though, now that I think about it, on my shoot last week the stylist simply snapped a shot of me with her camera phone then sent it to her flickr page...I'm beginning to see where the issue stems from.

Well, friends of the Polaroid, good thing eBay exists, huh? I took a quick look and found countless cameras and film for sale! Ahhh, I feel much better now
