I recently posted about my new obsession with Polaroid cameras. Today would have been the 100th birthday of Edwin Land, the inventor of polaroid photography. The first polaroid camera was sold to the public in 1948. Land was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest award given to a U.S. citizen, in 1963 for his work in optics. He passed away in 1991 at the age of 81.
