Back in February of last year,
Polaroid announced it would cease production of all instant film. I understand how hard it must be for a company, whose schtick of being the only "instant" gratification source in photography, was soon trumped by a slew of digital cameras. But, for people that use the film for alternative purposes -- say, for instance,
Image Transfers and Emulsion Lifts -- there's not a lot we can do with the idea that our medium would soon be extinct!
I did my part to help the cause -- I signed
petitions, I joined the
Facebook group and I bought a fair amount of film to store in my fridge, as if I were stocking up on water and batteries for the next great storm. Heck, even my parents knew how important it was to me when they got me 2 10-packs of film for Christmas, along with my annual fuzzy socks and
Starbucks gift card.
Hurrah! Now this means I actually need to get back to it.... Somehow I feel the creativity creeping back....
