The day the Frankencamera went digital
A while ago I made myself a Frankencamera from an old 1920s 6x9 folding camera with a 1980s Polaroid back attached. Into this I could fit one piece of Instax Wide film and, after a little messing around, produce a single instant print. Mind you, I always found this process limiting. I couldn't really travel very far, it was time-consuming to set up and, at the end of the day, most of the exposures were failures.
