Random Shots of Joy: Carl Troy
My nephew Carl Troy. He’s turning two years old this August 28. He’s quite a charmer, isn’t he. He loves Coke although he only gets to have a bottle once in a while because soda is not good for growing boys.
The Death of Polaroid
It’s the end of an era for Polaroid devoted fans. Polaroid Corp. has announce they will stop producing the camera and film that has been part of pop culture.
Polaroid, the company behind the iconic instant camera has announced it is to stop making the film, because there is no longer a market for it.
Three factories will close in Massachusetts, Mexico and Holland, resulting in 450 job losses.
The company stopped making the cameras for commercial use in 2006 and halted production of the consumer models last year.
It will make enough film to last into next year, but after that the legion of Polaroid fans will find their cameras useless.
