The Resurrection of Polaroid?

I saw a curious post on the New York Times photo blog Lens (which if you haven’t checked it out yet, is really quite slick) about the possible revival of Polaroid film, with a link to a full article also from the NYT, about former Polaroid workers trying to bring back instant film. The possibility is very exciting, especially for those of us in the photographic community that appreciate historical, non digital processes. It appears they are focusing on film for the SX-70, but I’ll just keep my fingers crossed that someday in the not too distant future there may be a revival of the sheet films. Here are couple of my favorite polaroids from the archive:
