I just read some articles that Polaroid is going to quit making instant print film. I don't know what I will do about the film that is required for my classes that use medium and large format cameras. I guess for now I will find the remaining film out there or find an alternative. This is just as big as a set back as when Kodak quit making black and white paper. It's an end of another era.
Don't get me wrong, I love digital. But I also still love shooting film and I still teach with film. Film is still the best way to learn photography when you are just getting started. I hope I will never have to close the darkroom but it looks like that day will come. The students will be the ones missing out.
