I read at savepolaroid.com that the Polaroid corporation announced in February that it will discontinue it's instant prints film. I can understand their strategy. Digital photo technology makes instant photos obsolete. But I am nostalgic for the days when being able to have an instant photo was very exciting. I took a lot of Polaroid photos over the years. I have included one of my self in this blog. Click on the photo to link to my Flickr site where there are more photos.

2019 UPDATE: 
Over a decade after the post above, Polaroid has made something of a comeback. Mad props to the company for rebranding, re-messaging and catching the nostalgia wave!
