dear mr. polaroid
« on: June 24, 2007, 05:21:58 AM »
there's a thread over on flickr suggesting people write letters to the ceo of polaroid urging him to continue polaroid film production and especially to do some promotion for the product. anyway, thought some of you might want to take a look.

letters are good, and so are petitions; I'll sign if anyone wants to start one.

But sales are the thing a corporation will really take notice of. Lets go out and shoot.

To encourage that, could "instant" even become a filmwasters collaboration theme?  Polaroid shooters can express the theme via their materials, and filmwasters who don't pol can still explore the meaning of the word... just a thought.

Ooooh, yes.  Yummy goop!
" Instant" is good.    :)

I'm trying my best to up the sales of Polaroid.  Just ordered some more from the east coast.

Great idea. Not sure about the manners and content though! Maybe I need to spend more time with brashness?
