2. Land was born on May 7, 1909 in Bridgeport. He was an
American scientist and invertor of polaroid camera. He is also the
co-founder of the Polaroid Corporation. Land died on March 1, 1991
in Cambridge at the age of 81.
3. Blind by the lights In 1926, Land was a Harvard student
walking along Broadway in New York City. He was overwhelmed by the
glare from the headlights and store signs. He sensed a safety
hazard and wondered if polarized lights could reduce that danger.
He dropped out and began doing research in laboratory. He designed
the first inexpensive light polarizing filters.
4. In 1943, Eastman Kodak gave Land-Wheelwirght an order for
$10K dollar worth of polarizing filters. Kodak wanted a polarizer
laminated between two seets of optical glass, but neither Land nor
Wheelwright had any idea how to make it. Nonethless, they accepted
the order and successfully created what they called Polaroid. The
company changed the name too.

6. Dr. Land was saying : The world is like a fertile field
thats waiting to be harvested. The seeds have been planted, and
what I do is go out and help plant more seeds and harvest
them.
