Innovation Imagination: 50 Years of Polaroid Photography

Innovation Imagination: 50 Years of Polaroid Photography by Barbara Hitchcock
When Edwin Land invented instant photography more than 50 years ago, he offered this thought on his scientific breakthrough: "The purpose of inventing instant photography was essentially aesthetic--to make available a new medium of expression to numerous individuals who have artistic interest in the world around them." Having hired Ansel Adams in 1948 to test the limits of this new medium, Land was clearly committed to his science as a tool of the visual arts. This volume gives us a selective look at the Polaroid Collection, established in the 1960s to honor the works of artists using instant photography."
Just ordered a copy, I'll let you know how great it is.

RED BOOKS: ANDY WARHOL'S POLAROIDS

RED BOOKS: ANDY WARHOL
The Polaroid camera combined two of Andy Warhol's obsessions -- the disposible nature of modern consumerism and the photograph as a ready-made. He was an inveterate and relentless user of Polaroid cameras and during the 1970s he made thousands of instant photographs. The near-instant nature of the Polaroid process meant that the photographs could be passed around, admired, sometimes written on moments after the event had been captured. It was a useful tool for a somewhat shy character, one that encouraged interaction and collaboration."

Helmut Newton: Polaroids

Amazon.com: Helmut Newton: Polaroids (9783836528863): Helmut Newton: Books
Polaroids occupy a special place in the hearts of many photo enthusiasts who remember a time when "instant photography" meant a one-of-a-kind prints that developed within minutes of clicking the shutter. What was once a crucial tool for photographers to test their shots before shooting on film has now become obsolete in the face of digital photography. Luckily for us, legendary photographer Helmut Newton saved his test Polaroids, allowing a privileged and rare chance to see the tests from a selection of his greatest shoots over a period of decades, including many from the TASCHEN titles SUMO, A Gun for Hire, and Work. Put together by his widow, June Newton, his collection captures the magic of Helmut Newton photo shoots as only Polaroids can."

Case Turns iPhone into Pocket Polaroid Camera Printer

Concept Printer Case Turns iPhone into Pocket Polaroid Camera: "As more and more consumers rely solely on their mobile phones for shooting casual snapshots, perhaps the Sophie concept iPhone case is the next step in instant film’s evolution: it’s a case with a built-in printer that turns your iPhone into a Polaroid-style instant camera. What do you think of the idea?"


It's almost like a Spectra, without the chemical smell, which is a visceral, pleasing aspect of the original Polaroid process.
