Peter Buse examines the cultural and technological impact of the Polaroid Corporation, tracing the evolution of instant photography from its mid-century inception to its digital-era resurgence. The text explores how Edwin Land’s invention fundamentally altered the relationship between the photographer, the subject, and the finished image by collapsing the time between exposure and development.
