Today in Photography History
1947: The Land camera is demonstrated for the first time by its inventor, Edwin Land. The camera, which became better known by the name of Land’s company, Polaroid, was the first so-called instant camera. Using developer and fixer contained in sacs with the film and photographic paper in a layered packet, the first Polaroid camera could produce a black-and-white photo in 60 seconds.
