I'm sure it'll just be a matter of time before this becomes the new cool thing. I'm sure having a Polaroid camera will get you as much cred in the indie scene as those vintage t-shirts you got at Goodwill.
If I'm understanding this correctly, which I'm sure I am, Polaroid has shut it's doors on instant film. The company, which stopped making instant cameras for consumers a year ago and for commercial use a year before that, said today that as soon as it had enough instant film manufactured to last it through 2009, it would stop making that, too. Three plants that make large-format instant film will close by the end of the quarter, and two that make consumer film packets will be shut by the end of the year.
So go get yourself a Polaroid camera and plenty of film before they become extinct.

Polaroid cameras are neat for a number of reasons. Having instant photographs means you can navigate around an unfamiliar town, give out party favors on the spot, put on Punch & Judy shows starring your friends... the list is endless! I'm glad I own one. Too bad I don't own any vintage clothing.
