I was hoping you would include my work in your upcoming Polaroid book.
are 3d photographs from 1943 rare?
Fan of the site and really love the book. Stumbled upon these pics and thought you might be interested.

Book just arrived (pre-ordered on Amazon months ago). It looks great. – James
Great to hear–thanks.
My father was a longtime Polaroid engineer in the film division. I never understood my father’s professional life until I read your book. Thanks.
Chris, AWESOME book! Became aware of it on our trip to Boston, where we stumbled into the MIT museum. I can see how E. Land had a big impact on Steve Jobs. My wife gave me the book for Christmas, and when I was just about done, she announces she thinks she has an SX 70. She did, with two un opened packs of Time Zero! There is something I think magical – this analog to photography! I will be ordering some Impossible film! We are displaced New Yorkers, twenty years now in Boulder, and we very much enjoy NY magazine too. I’ll keep an eye for your stuff. Take care and all the best in the new year. Mario
Great book – just finished it!
Going to be trying the Impossible film this weekend. Any tips?
Thanks and cheers from London!
Study the guides on Impossible’s web site carefully for the particular film you are using. Shield the film from light as it exits the camera and for the first minutes of development. Unlike the original Polaroid film, you cannot at present “watch” the picture develop. Improper shielding will result in images which appear over exposed (too light).
Hi, I’m an old Polaroider, I used to write for the Polaroid Newsletter in the Employee Communications and Department at 549 Tech Square. Used to see the great man walking up Main Street on the way to or from his Osborne street lab. Any old pals feel free to contact me at ssalemi@earthlink.net. I am in Santa Fe, like Bill Field (and of course, the sacred place where Land — in fact, I visited the house he was renting and there is, I swear, a chemical stain on the wood floor where he . Anyway, always fascinated by all thigns Polaroid. I was off to college by the time the Spectra system arrived and I’d love to know more about this camera, particularly where it was manufactured (the U.K.) and by who. I was there when SX-70 was huge and also when Polavision was developed and launched (ouch). I did enjoy Polachrome slide film. Anyway, great memories, of course.
