Polaroid Farewell


As many of you know, Polaroid is planning to stop production of all instant film and cameras in the coming year. A travesty for hipsters and sentimentalists all over the country. My own "Kool Kam" is looking pretty nostalgia inducing itself, with it's pink and gray plastic still clean and matte, and it's flip open flash still in perfect shape. I'm feeling actual sadness at the thought of it becoming useless in the years after we've all used up ebay's supply of film, and yard sales are empty of it...
Well, maybe not solve the crisis at hand, but at least to go out with a bang (or a snap?), my friend Evan LaLonde has organized a gallery show called "600" which will allow photographers of any level, all over the country, to submit up to 10 polaroid photos for exhibition at Gallery 2219 in Baltimore.
