POLAROID CAMERA

A Polaroid camera prints photos in a few minutes after having taken them.

Samuel Shlafrock was the first who invented this kind of camera in 1923, but the scientist Edwin Land made the first commercial instant camera in 1948.

In 2008 Polaroid bankrupted and it stopped making instant films and cameras, it closed down the factories, and 450 workers lost their jobs. Polaroid was bought by PLR Holdings and it uses the Polaroid brand to make different products related to instant cameras, for example one made to Fuji Instax.

Now these cameras are fashionable for teenagers.

I like these cameras and if I had one, I´d put this kind of photos around my bedroom.
