My father is probably turning over in his grave. He loved his Polaroid cameras. |

I guess "shake it like a Polaroid picture" has no meaning, anymore. |

Try replacing it with, "Hey, baby! You want a hamburger to go with that shake?" Disclaimer: this line has never worked for me. |

I like that Polaroid actually came out and made press releases asking people not to shake their products: link |

It was the best camera for taking dirty pictures until the digital came out. Heheh |

The article I read said that they would probably license out the rights to manufacturing the film so that enthusiasts could continue to use it. So non-digital dirty pics are still safe :-) |

I found it interesting to learn that you weren't actually watching the photograph develop as the image formed. You were actually seeing the already-developed image appear behind a slowly dissipating opaque film that protected the image while it had time to develop. |

I expect that someone will buy the license. Instant cameras are fairly popular with various criminal-justice organizations, as the pictures are photoshop-proof. -Kle. |

Wow. It was in the early 90s that the engineering group I ran used to use a polaroid to take pictures of job sites to help with design. Other organizations used to borrow my camera – I had two of them for the three of us in my shop – all the time for other (all legitimate) purposes. Then with my new (current) job in the mid 90s, I started using digital pictures. Plus we used them as kids in the 70s a lot. Sort of a sentimental milestone for many of us, really. |
