Fantastic! (Packtastic to!), the video is top notch, I really wish I could have made it out!
Kudos to Nick - I'm stunned that someone found Polaroid roll film that would produce an image. The last roll film I used was in the 60's in my uncle's camera. Too bad it's (almost) gone forever - it had it's own allure. Maybe a new (totally) impossible project?
