	Edwin H. Land - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Edwin Land did not finish his studies, but instead set up the Land-Wheelwright Laboratories in 1932 together with his Harvard physics instructor.
		Land however failed to cite earlier work on the concept and was later criticized for that.
		On February 21, 1947, Edwin Land demonstrated an instant image camera and associated film.

	A NEW MODEL FOR LIGHT INTERACTION WITH THE RETINA OF THE EYE AND THE VISION PROCESS vision science, retina, fovea, color vision, porous silicon,light,photons, Gerald Huth, Huth, Ghuth, Ghuth.com
		Edwin Land and Josef Albers both mused that the visual image in color was the "music of the eye" with the "score" (the image itself) being assembled from the "notes" (the individual colors).
		This model provides verification for Edwin Land's color vision experiments showing that "color" is not directly detected on the retina at all but this sensation derives from a "balance of signals" around the geometrically defined central point (at 7 1/2 degrees) and presented to the brain.
		This model is consistent with Edwin Land's color vision experiments and deductions.

	Edwin Herbert Land, May 7, 1909-March 1, 1991 By Victor K. McElheny Biographical Memoirs
		LESS THAN TWO WEEKS after Edwin Land's death in 1991, members of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (and the author) met to plan a day-long memorial conference.
		Land developed what he called the retinex theory, which held that color sensation was the product of calculations, either in the retina of the eye or in brain structures, or both, in which lightnesses, not flux, in each of the three major wavebands were compared.
		Land's attitudes from boyhood were those of a physicist, but he is best known as the inventor and re-inventor of instant photography from the mid-1940s to the early 1980s.
