Polaroid is getting out of the instant film business.

Not surprising, though it makes me a bit sad. We'd go through 669 and Type 54 by the case 10 years ago, and that all stopped when we went digital. That left just the art market: I loved doing Polaroid transfers and was quite good at it back in the day. But seeing how you can do almost the same thing in Photoshop now, it was only a matter of time.

Gonna miss the old roller, squeegee and stacks of Type 59, though, but I guess nothing lasts forever.
