polaroid in peril

Before I get things started in the way of modifying my old Polaroid into a medium format camera I have decided to pick up a Polaroid SX70. This is the Polaroid model that still (temporarily) has film circulating. I found one on ebay for a decent price, and it even came with film in it! I got to clicking away as soon as the camera left it's box. 

To repay a nice young lady who cut my hair for free I gave her a sweet Polaroid photo shoot. A few friends set up a giant slip and slide in my back yard and I proceeded to document with my camera. It made for some darling pictures. The photos had such a retro feel. I only asked that she email me the scanned photos... hopefully I'll get those. 

I've moved on to tinkering with the camera in different environments, and I find that the 600 film that's available for the camera leaves everything slightly overexposed. I've done some research showing me that there are modifications that need to be made to the SX70 to get the 600 film to work appropriately. Work never seems to be done with these cameras, but the rewards are well worth it.
