| Just Another Memory...... | | do you own one of those instant cameras??? the kind that spits out the picture after you take it???well if you do, you might want to think about stocking up on film.
i just saw on the news that Polaroid will no longer manufacture the Instant Film.
they say that digital cameras have become so popular that their instant cameras have become obsolete.
they're claiming you might be able to find film until about the middle of next year and then the supply will start to dry up.so what do you think???
is this just another relic to leave in the the past with rabbit ear TV antennas, and VCRs???or could this actually be a lucrative money making opportunity for someone???

| | Did you start out with a Polaroid camera? Was it special to you? | | I put this discussion in Life because for some of us who are a bit older, getting our own Polaroid camera was a rite of passage...a step towards adulthood. When I got mine I thought I was a real big shot! I was going to be the next great photographer, with instant gratification at my figertips as I watched my creations appear before me. I went through packs of film taking pictures of everything and everyone for quite a long time in kid time. When I became a mom I gave my kids that same kind of camera...that is until my youngest, who is 8 years younger than her closest sibling, came along. By the time she was camera ready digital cameras were affordable and that's what she craved.Now, Polaroid is discontinuing it's instant film. I think I'm going to dig up my old camera and see if I can still find film for it. Or see if either of my older daughters still have theirs packed away somewhere. It may be old fashioned and outdated but I want my grandchildren to experience the awe of watching a photo they took magically appear while holding it in their hands. I don't care what anyone says, I think that's one of the coolest things in the world![em]thumbup[/em] | |
