I have never owned a Polaroid camera or had any need to.

But in the day when I worked finance, all of our insurance adjusters used them and I can see good reasoning in that, instant shot of wreck.

Hey All,

Edwin Land was an amazing guy. Reading Galen Rowell I learned that he was a scientist with many of his own ideas about light, perception and colour. He did a lot more than just polaroid. Check out this video - it's long (45 min) but if your a science guy you might enjoy it.
