One of the unfortunate aspects of the so-called digital revolution is that older, analog technologies get left behind. With digital cameras, Polaroid pics are being replaced. Digitals are more instant, and usually look better, though there’s something about the primary colors and blurry edges of a Polaroid that will always rule.

Those days are soon to pass. Polaroid is closing its last film plant in Concord, Mass. It will continue to work in the digital field, but there will be no more shaking of those 3×3 pieces of chemically-enhanced plastic. So sad.
