Between the 60th anniversary of Polaroid, its bare-bones emergence from bankruptcy, and the announcement that the company is getting out of the instant film business, there are a lot of reasons to look back and think about all those birthday parties, barbecues and whatnot where someone was waving an instant photo in the air waiting [...]
