I broke out the Holga camera with old Tri-X film for the No Kings protest. #nokings #holga #believeinfilm #analogphotography

This was fun!

Stop by the Lab and pick up some some cheap medium format film the next time you’re in Vermillion, SD! #fotolabno7 #believeinfilm #kodak #fujicolor #mediumformatfilm

Want some very cheap 35mm film? Drop by the Lab and pick up some old and expired film! (Fotolab No.7 is open Tuesdays-Saturdays at 7 Center St., Vermillion, SD.) #fotolabno7 #believeinfilm #kodak #fujifilm #35mm

From my new palladium print portrait series, Elder South Dakota Artists. A portrait of artist, photographer, professor, and mentor John Banasiak in front of one of his favorite places, the Vermilion Civic Council. #vermillionsd #notai #alternativeprocess #platinumpalladium #contactprint

Can you imagine all the cool pictures you could take with this waterproof camera? Get yours at Fotolab No.7 before your next adventure! (You can also get your film developed at the lab too.) #fotolabno7 #waterproofcamera #kodak #disposablecamera #mermaidlifestyle

You wouldn’t believe how long it took me clean up the glitter after I decorated this dinosaur toy so we could announce that Fotolab No.7 now has 35mm cameras available! #fotolabno7 #trex #holgacamera #filmcamera #glitter

Is disco-saurus rex an appropriate name for this new dinosaur species? (Oh! Also, we have traditional 35mm film cameras at the lab. See you at Fotolab No.7 when you’re ready for fun!) #fotolabno7 #TyrannosaurusRex #dinosaurtoy #holgacamera #filmphotography

We created a dinosaur in the lab! It’s a para-sparkle-lophus! (This seems like the best way to announce we have 35mm cameras available at Fotolab No.7 in Vermillion, SD.] #fotolabno7 #parasaurolophus #dinosaurs #holgacamera #holgasparkle

Curious about where to buy an affordable analog camera for 35mm film in South Dakota? We’ve got you covered! Swing by Fotolab No.7 at 7 Center St, Vermillion, SD to treat yourself! #fotolabno7 #holga #35mmcamera #holgacamera #filmcamera

I had an incredible time at the Field Museum! Courtesy of the Field Museum, Christina Thompson, Klaire Lockheart, and Emily Teeter within the chapel of Netjer-user (cat. no. 24450.), Photo by Aaron C Packard. #FieldMuseum #AncientEgypt #OldKingdom #Chicago #Egypt

You wouldn’t believe how much time it took for us to print these bags! Stop by Fotolab No.7 to see if Klaire’s there so you can hear her complain about it. Ha! #fotolabno7 #WeStoleTheCanvasToteIdeaFromNPR #silkscreen #vermillion #sodak

If you’ve ever wondered, “Should I get color or black and white film?” The answer is, “Yes!” Feed your photography habit at Fotolab No.7! #fotolabno7 #blackandwhitefilm #believeinfilm #colorfilm #35mmfilm

With how much work Aaron put into printing these bags, it would be foolish for him to give them away whenever someone buys film or orders prints at Fotolab No.7. (Get yours the next time you’re in Vermillion, SD before he wises up! Ha!) #fotolabno7 #squeegee #silkscreen #vermillionsd #southdakota

I’m excited to share that Aaron and I have artwork in the upcoming Asking for It traveling art exhibition! #thunderdomesticity #aaroncpackard #bluecatgallery #radialartscenter #tugboatgallery

The photo Aaron took of the bag we silkscreened looks way more dramatic than I anticipated! #fotolabno7 #sillscreen #vermillion #chiaroscuro #tenebrism

Fotolab No.7 will back to regular hours February 21-26. Feel free to ask Aaron about his trip to Chicago when you see him at the lab! #fotolabno7 #centralcamera #photoservices #photonerd #camerastore

Finally got to go to Central Camera in Chicago.

Preview of a series of palladium prints I am working on. #believeinfilm #palladium #darkroom

This is probably ok

This is just a reminder that Fotolab No.7 will be closed February 17th-20th. We’ll see you at the lab later! #fotolabno7 #southdakotaphotography #printlab #photolab #vermillionsd

Happy Valentine’s Day! We’d love to see you at the lab the next time you’re in Vermillion, South Dakota! #fotolabno7 #lovermillion #vermillionsd #photolab #photostudio

I would never stop laughing if my painting of Theseus was displayed near a classic depiction of Ariadne. Klaire Lockheart, Sleeping Theseus. 2025. Oil on Canvas. 32x40”. #brodalisque #OilPainting #PKFGrantee #theseus #art

I would like to argue that my artwork depicting the end of Aeschylus’s life is just as historically accurate as the average “Death of Cleopatra” painting. Klaire Lockheart, Death of Aeschylus. 2025. Oil on Canvas. 60x54”. #brodalisque #FigurePainting #PKFGrantee #Aeschylus #art

Sometimes I feel I’ve got to… dress up like Marilyn Monroe and warble “Tainted Love” in order to make my friends laugh! You can witness the latest Klairilyn Monroe video on my YouTube channel. youtu.be/7Drf61k_-ws #KlairilynMonroe #ceecees605 #marilynmonroe #dashingpirate #vermillionsd

The key to understanding capitalism is that dog treats have shapes like "steak" even though that means nothing to the dog. The target audience isn't the dog, but the human, and the goal of the product is not to satisfy the dog, but to make the human feel like a good dog owner.

Happy Franks-Giving! Photos by Aaron C Packard. Thank you to everyone who was part of the Rocky Horror Preservation Society shadow cast, the VCA and Coyote Twin for hosting, and everyone who attended our Halloween screening! #rockyhorrorpictureshow #vermcult #drfranknfurter #rockyhorror #sodak

I cannot tell you how excited I am to have my artwork at the William Havu Gallery! #williamhavugallery #havugalleryartist #denver #artist

I took a break from making paintings… so I could paint this skeleton! I used a combination of Black 2.0 and Black 3.0 to upgrade a pair of plastic skeletons. Are you decorating for Halloween too? #culturehustle #blackestblack #halloweendecorations #PaintItBlack #halloween

Did you see @aaroncpackard.bsky.social’s portrait of @badhandbooks.bsky.social yet?

I’m tempted to state that we “dig” black and white photography at Fotolab No.7, but I’m afraid you won’t like my bonehead puns. #believeinfilm #classicphotography #paleontology #fotolabno7

You’re not a dinosaur if you use film. You are timeless! Come check out all the new black and white film and color film we have for you classic photographers in southeast South Dakota. #dinosaurs #kodak #ilford #fotolabno7

I was happy to teach an oil painting workshop to several brave students at the Arts Education Institute, and as a bonus I got to see the current Midwest Nice Art exhibition! #artssd #midwestniceart #southdakotaartists
