Polaroid is saying goodbye to its iconic, white-bordered instant pictures. It expects to stop selling the film next year.

Generations of photographers have watched Polaroid pictures develop almost magically before their eyes, but digital photography has made the instant photos seem less instant.

We want to see your favorite Polaroid pictures, whether they're from an old family album or a recent art project.

Send us your photos and tell us if you'll miss your Polaroid cameras.
