Noted photographer, Mary Ellen Mark, is going to use her last case of Polaroid 20-24 inch film. It is the end of an era. She bought her last batch of the exotic film when Polaroid announced they would end production. She will use the film to photograph the high school prom in Ithaca New York.

The camera she will use is rare. Polaroid only made 6 of them. It is 5 feet high, weighs 235 pounds, and takes the photographer plus one technician to operate. The 20×24 inch prints are one-of-a-kind.
