I knew it would happen though I didn’t anticipate so soon.
Unsaleable, one of the sources for Polaroid SX-70 blend instant film sent out an email blast 5 days ago alerting SX-70 Blend users that they had only 500 twin packs left in stock.

I decided to leave my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi at home and arm myself with just the SX-70 and my so-far trusty iphone. It was [...]
- Polaroid, 17 years later
17 years. That’s about how long it has been since I pulled apart a polaroid image.
I think the last time was in 1995 just after leaving a job as an assistant for two studio photographers in Fairfield, Connecticut. Type 55 was my favorite back then.
