a good photographer with a bad fact!

Whilst on Anwen's profile I found the following address, www.thelovelyroad.com, it is simply polaroid photos Scoot Hammond has taken over 5 years or so.

I love the simplicity of the pieces and the details draw you in. However, whilst enjoying this work I discovered something quite worrying.....In late 2008, Polaroid Co. plans to entirely discontinue their line of remaining polaroid films (Type 600 and Spectra are among the popular used labels).

I can't believe it!!! Polaroid is still such a popular way of recording information and images. Why would they want to stop it?
I have found this petition online which is trying to stop polaroid from doing this....

PLEASE sign it and don't let them stop manufacturing the films! This is a classic, time-and-tried art form.
