It was my pleasure to chat with Lori Walsh on In the Moment for South Dakota Public Broadcasting about my photography.

#sdpb #inthemoment #apaawards

www.sdpb.org/podcast/in-t...
This screen capture begins with the green In the Moment logo and includes the title “An artistic tour of South Dakota” plus credits Lori Walsh, Ellen Kirsten, and Ari Jungemann. The black text reads, “Aaron Packard of Vermillion created this award-winning photograph while in Pine Ridge. The sunset in the background radiates up from the horizon with a red glow, passing through gold tones, and fades to a dull blue night sky. To create the warm orange light glowing inside the teepee, Packard positioned an intense light source, powered by a hidden generator. This light was synced up to his camera.” The lower right includes the photograph.

Here are some of the photos I produced for the South Dakota Shakespeare Festival’s staging of Romeo and Juliet.

A vertical portrait of actor Aaron Allen dressed as Romeo wearing a white shirt and brandishing a sword, lunging within a dramatically dark park. A horizontal head and shoulders portrait of actor Caroline Borio wearing a pink Juliet costume and leaning up against the dark bark of a tree in a moody park. A horizontal photograph that depicts a small feminine hand reaching over a stone wall to be held by a larger masculine hand emerging from the cuff of a white sleeve.

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…

It’s photographer Aaron C Packard’s birthday, but he’s feeling old and expired. Coincidentally, while preparing for the launch of Fotolab No.7, Aaron discovered a box of old and expired film… Come to the lab on April 12th to help use up the film.

A screen capture from Fotolab No.7’s website includes a horizontal photograph of a stack of rolls of film standing in front of a camera above the text “Old and Expired.”
