Polaroid to Stop Making Polaroids….
Yet another casualty of the digital assault that has virtually conquered the world of film as we once new it, Polaroid has announced that they will discontinue the manufacture of the instant film that put the company on the map so many years ago.
“We’re trying to reinvent Polaroid so it lives on for the next 30 to 40 years,” Tom Beaudoin, Polaroid’s president, chief operating officer and chief financial officer, said in a phone interview with the Associated Press.
Instant Polaroid film will be on the shelves for the next year, after which Fujifilm will be the only company left making instant film.
A shame that they’ll never replace Type 55…

Fine Art Photo Blog
Back in December Brian Auer of Epic Edits started the ball rolling on a new group photography / web project.
Seven of us came together, spanning 4 countries and 7 timezones, all with very distinct styles, to create a web log specifically tailored to promoting and selling our fine art photography. Today at 12:01 AM we officially launched www.fineartphotoblog.com.
“The Fine Art Photoblog is a unique website dedicated to collectors and admirers of fine art photography. The site is something of a mix between art gallery, photoblog, and search engine.”
The site was built upon three basic principals…
As a gallery, the site is focused completely on the image. All featured photographs will remain on the site permanently, the idea being that before long, we will have an archive of thousands of images.
As a web log, new photographs from the group will be posted daily. Visitors may subscribe to site feeds through RSS or by email. Structurally the site will function just like any other web log.
As a search engine, the site employs extensive tagging and advanced search capabilities so the viewer can find exactly what they are looking for. Search results are based on relevance, ensuring older content isn’t buried by reverse chronological archiving.
I encourage you to take a look at what we’ve built. Given the diversity of styles there is sure to be something for everyone. Each photograph contains links to purchase original and / or art prints, so if you’re looking to fill some wall space, this is a good place to start…
