i'm francesca. :)
i personally love polaroids, and i never gave it a second thought that they will obviously be losing business if everyone is turning to their slrs, compacts & mobile phones for photos.
polaroid offically stopped the production of instant film on 8th febuary 2008. although they dont have the money to start making it again kodak or fujifilm or something might start making an alternative for this beautiful art form. the polaroid.
www.savepolaroid.com is a website with first off; better infomation than i can give. aha. and also there are several petitions scattered about. if you grew up with polaroids, or agree you think they're a beautiful art form then sign one!

besides that: on art appreciation earlier in the week i came along this dead sweet website www.theoneswelove.org this is basically a website for photographers around the world to submit six photos of their dearests in natural surroundings, not entirely sure what is achieved by this. maybe show someone just how much you care? free advertising of your photographical (an actual word?) skills. :) either way, it's a nice cause at heart.
