Mr. Polaroid
« on: May 01, 2025, 03:24:26 PM »
Now, for those of us who either live in the USA or have access to the PBS Station of your choice, you definitely have to mark your calendar for May 19th!
On their show "The American Experience", there will be a documentary called Mr Polaroid about Edwin Land.
Here's the preview

I can't wait to see this! 👍😊

It would have been interesting to watch this, but it will probably not be available in Europe unless you want to pay for it. Edwin Land deserves more recognition for his work, much more so than the Jobs and Gates' of this world who cashed in tens of millions of dollars in government grants. Another person in deserve of praise is "doc" Florian Kaps who made it possible for us to go on shooting Polaroids today. His latest adventure is the DIY type 100 Polaroid film that you can assemble yourself: https://supersense.com/oneinstant/#diy

I hope they put it on Youtube. This is something everyone needs to see.
