These three photographs were taken with one of Jann's Polaroid's with film that had been left in the camera for at least a decade. The camera in question, a Spectra QPS, was joined that afternoon by a cheap Polaroid One Step purchased in the 1990s for location work on a film. We'll be blogging more later about our impressions of taking last polaroids with the small cache of remaining film Jann had kept back.
We're excited to hear, nonetheless, that the group that has been striving to get the Polaroid factory back in action in the Netherlands and fabricate once again film for these wonderful cameras has managed in the past weeks to make enormous progress:

Though we will tend as a group to take a more critical distance on our objects, this is one case where we want to take a stand. We're eager to see Polaroid cameras be one of the objects for which we do not have to write an obituary.
That's Jacob with a Nikon D80 Digital Camera, by the way, and Hanne is holding the Polaroid One Step in the top Polaroid.
