October 9, 2009 is the expiration date for the last batch of Polaroid film. From now on we can no longer buy fresh Polaroid film! A sad day indeed. Which reminds me, I have to run out to Adorama and pickup some more boxes of Polaroid 600 before they sell out. That will have to keep me until The Impossible Project starts rolling out their promised version of instant film in Early 2010.
A channel 4 news video about this sad topic can be found here.
I’ll post a couple of Autumn Polaroids tomorrow.
