Sixty years after revolutionizing the camera game, Polaroid recently announced its manufacturing plants will officially cease production on Polaroid film this month (more lost jobs! yay!). The company stopped making the their infamous instant camera a year ago and with this announcement we can mark the end of an era. We are still awaiting official count on how many perverts got laid using the line “Baby, you look great on camera. Lay still…and pull your blouse down to the side just like that….perfect.” Regardless, it is time to stock up and let your creative side out, one Polaroid picture sh-sh-shake at a time. Last we checked on eBay, there were hundreds of listings for the film so get yo’ bid on.
And as long as we are drinking creative juices, check out this site and let out your inner “artiste.” Everytime you click, the color palatte changes. Pretty awesome….www.JacksonPollock.org
such a sad day for the world of photography. i’ll never forget the first time i was tricked into posing for an “artsy” semi-pornographic polaroid session by my friend’s pervy older brother.
