I take so many digital photos that it becomes a project to sort through them all, decide which ones to print, crop, etc, and send them to be printed. my new-to-me Polaroid Colorpack II Land Camera makes instant tiny photos possible -- and they're beautiful -- and I can hold them -- and there's no cropping, centering, editing, blah.
I purchased my colorpack camera on Etsy from ForgottenCharm. they're also available on eBay but I much prefer "finding" vintage treasures on Etsy
but what about film? color and black and white film are both available.
color film: Fuji FP-100C
black and white film: Fuji FP 3000-B
I'm from the digital age. how the hell do I use this thing? you watch this video
what am I supposed to take photos of? check out these colorpack photos the gals at the Weaver House have taken here
my first Colorpack experience was a failure. I bought the camera. I purchased the film. I watched the video. every exposure came out completely black. It turns out that my camera was busted (the shutter wasn't opening in natural light)
the trouble shooting steps I tried first were:
(1) make sure the camera was set to '75'
(2) I changed the batteries and made sure they were loaded properly
(3) I yelled at my camera and made sad faces.
