Edwin H. Land 1948



Edwin H. Land
Born 1909  
Known for the Polarizing film. Land instant cameras.

Edwin was an American scientist and inventor, best known as the co-founder of the Polaroid Corporation. He invented inexpensive filters for polarizing light, a practical system of in-camera instant photography, and the retinex theory of color vision, among other things. His Polaroid instant camera went on sale in late 1948 and made it possible for a picture to be taken and developed in 60 seconds or less.

And I want to know more.
