Shit, shit, shit. Polaroid announced that it is going to quit making film, and I just bought a 4x5 view camera and ordered a Razzlock that will shoot 4x5. I don't need them any more. I have been working for a while with Polaroids trying to make a distinct image that is faux-antique. I have several projects in the works. I love the Polaroid works of Paolo Roversi and Sarah Moon and Anna Tomczak. Photographers more than anyone are at the mercy of technology and corporations. Perhaps I will learn to do ambrotypes. Seems everything else will be digital. I sure have spent a lot of money lately on things now extinct.
Hello, I have a Razzle 4x5 Rangefinder. I love it!!
ReplyDeleteDean does really great work. I dont think you should worry to much about the Polaroid problem. I am sure that it will be easily available for the next two years. Make you work and be merry. If you have a couple of extra bucks, buy some extra boxes and squirrel them away.

I'll take your advice on this. You are the first person I've "spoken" to who has one. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteDon't sweat it - they stopped making the Oldsmobile and there are still warehouses full of them too!
ReplyDeleteWHAT! THEY STOPPED MAKING OLDSMOBILES!
