I worked there for 35 years, in W3,W1,R5...Believe me there was NO better place to work!!!It was like being in a city and all yourfriends were there. I started at 19 in 1967, and left in 2002. Most of my friends are the ones i grew up with at Polarioid, and we are still friends after all these years!!!

What a great piece of work. I had imagined Polaroid as a dead company over the past few years, but I was wrong. The people here are so passionate about what they had seen and done. The Polaroid of old maybe gone, but the legacy is not.

I wonder what Edwin Land would think of all us young-ins desperately looking to find film today and the people in Europe trying to resurrect the Integral film factory.
