Process Description – (50-75 words): The Polaroid Corporation is most famous for its instant cameras better know as Polaroid Cameras. They were called Instant Cameras because they produced a developed film image. Edwin H. Land was the man who founded Polaroid Corporation. They introduced their first instant camera in 1948 and continued to make them until 2008. They were also one of the early manufactures of digital cameras. Their digital camera was the PDC-2000 from 1996 but they failed to become one of the leading makers of digital cameras.

Personal Reaction – (50 – 75 words): Personally I love Polaroid cameras and their film. I remember my grandma always had a Polaroid camera that I would use. I loved taking pictures of people and then shaking the film until the picture would show up. Reading the article that I read was a little sad seeing that the company started to fall behind financially and decided to stop making the cameras and their film.
