No: instant photography is genuinely fun and interesting. It leaves a real artifact of a moment. As formats go, the square Polaroid just clicked for people.
Tempted to throw down some cliched McLuhan quotes but instead I'll just point out that Fuji Instax continues to be a big seller with teenage girls who wouldn't know a Polaroid camera if it attacked them.
I guess another answer is that we still have supermarkets and restaurants even though Soylent has been shipping for quite some time, now.
- Aelinsaar 11y agoI don't see digital photography as the "Soylent" of photography, but maybe I'm missing something. After all, your ability to print a digital photograph is not in doubt. I didn't know about the Instax though, so whatever I think, there is clearly a market.
