You know my addiction to Polaroid cameras and support of The Impossible Project's resurrection of Polaroid Integral film … Today is Dr. Edwin Land's 105th birthday. The Impossible Project has a nice page featuring Edwin Land and recollections about him:

Great man!!! I like the plastic lenses (and the soft rendering of the film), women love them too (nice and soft).

There's not many in photography I'd call "genius", but I think Dr Land earned that moniker. If anyone reading this thread would like to see examples of the breadth of talent that put Dr Land's invention to good use, I can recommend:

From Polaroid To Impossible, from Hatje Cantz (link)
