A Triumph of Genius Edwin Land and Polaroid

You are here: Home / Archive / Feature Stories / A Triumph of Genius Edwin Land and Polaroid
Published: August 23, 2015 by VPR Producer

These days “instant photography” means digital pictures that can be cropped, enhanced, captioned and uploaded to the Internet in a matter of minutes. It wasn’t that long ago, however, that “instant” photography was a lot more cumbersome and complex, and as novel as the latest tech gadgets are today. We’ll hear about the genius who made the first instant photos happen, take a look at his other inventions, and hear how his success led to a battle of giants in the photography world. Host: Gary Price.

  • Ron Fierstein, author of the book, A Triumph of Genius: Edwin Land, Polaroid, and the Kodak Patent War
