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

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

A few images of the amazing Kelly Yazdi from Camp Zero 2024.

If you’re feeling particularly artsy today, you might need some black and white film… (How sacrilegious is it that Aaron photographed this black and white film in color with a digital camera?) #fotolabno7 #blackandwhitefilm #kodakfilm #blackandwhitephotography

How long has it been since you last had photos printed? #fotolabno7 #photographylab #printingphotos #photoprints

Hey friends out there, my printer might be dead! 🤬 I will make the final verdict today…so, in that case, a new one will have to put on order today. Might be putting out a big ask to buy some art to help out…

I bought Salsa Verde Doritos for this painting because I liked the color of the bag, but they disappeared from the store immediately afterward. What’s a snack you used to enjoy but can’t find again? Photo by Aaron C Packard. #brodalisque #PKFGrantee #doritos #chips
