Me thinks top artists such as Chuck Close, Lucas Samaras and Mike Slack will actually be cut some 'Slack' by the Polaroid Copany and be allowed to continue to receive film and whatever goodies they require. Great publicity for the company, you know. Hmm.

Chuck Close and the guys will need to get used to the landscape format and mourn the square. ANNE EISENBERG, NY TIMES April 13, 2008: This fall, the company [Polaroid] expects to market a hand-size printer that produces color snapshots in about 30 seconds. Beam a photograph from a cellphone to the printer and, with a gentle purr, out comes the full-color print -- completely formed and dry to the touch. The printer, which connects wirelessly by Bluetooth to phones and by cable to cameras, will cost about $150. The images are 2 inches by 3 inches, the size of a credit card. The new printers are so lightweight that a Polaroid executive demonstrating them recently had three tucked unnoticeably into various pockets of his trim jacket, whipping them out as if he were Harpo Marx. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/13/technology/13novel.html?scp=1&sq=polaroid&st=nyt Polaroid’s not going away, it’s transforming…
