KODAK RECOROID 33

I got the idea from some guy that dismantled an old Polaroid land camera to use as a Polaroid back and attached a Holga to it. I've had this Kodak Recomar 33 for a couple years and have never been able to use it. It didn't have a focusing screen and I'm not going to shoot or develop sheet film. Not anytime soon. I found a cheap land camera and gutted it and slapped the two together.

I made a focusing screen out of an old film pack and some vellum paper

I used my focusing screen and a tape measure to get my new settings.
The two fit almost perfectly together. I still don't know how/if I will fasten them together permanently.
a little tape for the light leaks. I had to put a piece of dense foam on the inside to block off the area of the battery compartment from leaking light.
Shooting instant pack film was a little tricky. I shot a pack of fuji fp-100c and only got these 3 images but learned a lot in the process. Next time I think I can get at least 7 out of 10.
I didn't mean for this to be a double exposure. This was a 1/2 second exposure with a flash light pointed on Francois face.

I pulled the film out to fast and got a half image. At least it was the half with his face.
All the extra developer made the print dark and spotty.

NOBODY KNOWS

Who the hell took these photos? This is from an old roll of film from around 2001-02 and these pictures are smack dab in the middle. I took the ones at the beginning and the end. These... I have no idea. I asked my roommates and friends that were around at the time. Nobody knows. If your lighting candles and setting the mood you would remember that. Don't get me wrong, I'm not mad at who every took the photos or the girl in the tub. It just kills me that no one knows.
