electric eye

Walking around a flea market this last weekend I found this amazingly beautiful modern looking Polaroid camera with a case in perfect condition and manual. (This pic was take from the internets, an upload of mine will happen soon.)
It is the J33 Electric Eye model that came out as the second model of the automatic exposure cameras in 1961, but the film has been discontinued at least since the early 1970's. I was able to find some on ebay that had expired in 1972, but that was all I could find. The chemicals of any Polaroid 37 3000 speed film that is still around today would be flaking off and unprintable.
I am in the middle of research on how put 120 film inside, which would not make it instant anymore, but this descriptions sounds easy enough. I may convert the camera to take pack film from this process from a guy who is a master at this stuff. Otherwise it may just have to be an addition to my collection, at least its pretty to look at!

changes

I am planning on using this space mainly for my photographs in the very near future.
This will soon be a place that will look like a portfolio of my work, random photos of crazy happenings and experiments.
Updated soon, stay tuned!
