We, the artists and photographers whose work relies on Polaroid instant film types and cameras, have recently had our preferred artistic media taken away from us. In a recent article we learned that Polaroid is, in fact, interested in licensing its technology so that some other interested party may continue the manufacture of its instant film types. In particular, we are targeting Fujifilm, which seems like the most likely candidate, though we would be glad to present this petition to other interested parties. This is an art form which should not yet die. Please, sign to help keep the instant film types available to artists and photographers!

Also, feel free to write to the likeliest two candidates to carry forward the manufacture of our magical films to let them know how you feel:

FUJIFILM U.S.A., Inc.
200 Summit Lake Drive, Floor 2
Valhalla, NY 10595

ILFORD Imaging Switzerland GmbH
Case Postale 160
CH 1723 Marly 1
Switzerland

I'm pretty sure that Fujifilm already makes another type of instant film...?

But still, I'd like to see the classic Polaroid film come back...just so that don't have to buy a new kind of camera! Also, you can't pull off those neat Polaroid transfers with Fujifilm...so sad...

Signed- I've always wanted to try using polaroids at some point, and I'd rather like it if they still existed when I got around to it. :p
