#OnThisDay in 1947 Edwin Land, an American scientist and inventor, demonstrated the first "instant camera", the Polaroid Land Camera, to a meeting of the Optical Society of America.

It was first sold to the public in November 1948.

Day 1, Shitty Camera Challenge: a last hurrah for this Land 320.

The first shot (failed) of the last 3 shots of fp100c in this camera that I put in storage in Amman after last using it in 2016.

Maybe one of the last 2 will work, the pod wasn’t totally dry. I miss shooting peel-apart.
