The end of instant film

Polaroid's instant film is being phased out I'm sorry to say.

I have a lot of fond memories of Polaroid film, some of them even recent. A few years ago, we gave my youngest daughter, who is a talented photographer, a polaroid camera. On the way back from a trip to British Columbia, she accidentally smacked the picture button, and out came a photo of a man behind us who I don't think we had ever even looked at.

I think she still has that photo, a peculiar souvenir of a now bygone era.
