Daguerre exposes process for making photos, August 19, 1839.The brand and assets continued to change hands, but the company’s line of products now include digital cameras that print color photos, waterproof digital cameras, analog instant cameras, and 3D printers. Polaroid had to file for bankruptcy and in 2008 it announced it would stop making instant cameras. Over time, digital photography and printing lessened the appeal of instant cameras. He then co-founded Land-Wheelwright Laboratories in 1932, which became the Polaroid Corporation five years later. He began experimenting with polarizing light after studying chemistry at Harvard for a year and invented the plastic sheet-light polarizer in 1929. 213–233.Edwin Land was a prolific inventor known for his obsessive work habits and would later serve as an inspiration for Apple’s Steve Jobs (see “ What Steve Jobs Learned from Edwin Land of Polaroid“).
