Iain introduced me to the brilliant photojojo a little while back. And their recent piece on polaroid reminded me to remind you that you should have a play with some sort of polaroid format before they all go away. It's the most fun I've ever had with a camera, and probably the best pictures, mostly because of the unpredictable joy of the format. And once it's gone it's gone. Sure Fuji or someone will keep making film but it won't quite be the same will it?
It's like someone is borrowing a color from the crayon box never to return it.
Keep creating,
Mike

Yes, it won't be quite the same. They have another website here http://www.savepolaroid.com
Regardless to say I'm an avid fan of Polaroid photography as well. Film stocks are hard to find in Malaysia and I believe it has been discontinued months before the disaster news. :(

I wish companies like Polaroid would read a post like that. How could you possibly kill off something that is so special to so many people?
Sure big corporations who have investors need to worry about crap like "profitability" but what a company's responsibility towards its brand?
