Even here there's a school of art that uses the older SX-70 cameras and film
then physically manipulates the images to create 'art'. Its one of the
continuing sources of demand for the film and cameras, as the newer Polaroid
materials don't stay 'fluid' as long. I didn't think you could get the film
anymore, but it turns out that you can, and you can modify the SX-70 cameras
to use the '600' series film which is much more available. And every
Polaroid image *is* a unique original.
