An instant camera is a type of camera with self-developing film. The most famous are those made by the Polaroid Corporation. The invention of modern instant cameras is credited to American scientist Edwin Land, who unveiled the first commercial instant camera, the Land Camera, in 1947, 10 years after founding the Polaroid Corporation.

• Heather (left) and I met 2 hours after my arrival in Vegas at the Adam and Eve private party. She’s a computer analyst from Atlanta, but she felt that being in Vegas made her want to try some crazy things. • Jocelyn (right) nicknamed me ‘Yummy’, showed me pictures of her son, told me she was getting ass implants in a month, posed for pictures and went back to work. She hates polaroids. { Merlin Bronques, Vegas Polaroids, 2006 }
