and i feel really stupid for asking this, but would you be willing to breifly explain how to double expose a polaroid?

Thanks! Don't feel stupid for asking questions. Its not a very easy thing to do and can be done in several ways (that I know of). This particular photo is a pinhole so I was able to expose any number of times before I wanted the film to come out. The next way can be tricky and costly. You know the black card that comes out of your camera when you insert a new pack? Save it. Then take a shot of whatever. Now you have nine shots left in your camera. Take the shot you just took or some other pola you don't really care about and carefully cut out just the photo so you have only the white border. Now go where it is completely dark and take the pack out of your camera. Insert the cut out polaroid back into the pack on the top. Now insert the black card that you saved on top of this. Insert it back into the camera and it should spit the black card back out. Now you can take your first shot of whatever and the cut out pola will spit out and the photo you just took is on the pola below it. Now take your next shot being the double exposure and it should come out of your camera. The costly part is sometime the camera spits out two photos at once and sometimes the cut out pola gets stuck in the rollers and you have to open up the camera again usually wasting a perfectly good pola. The last way I know of is to find yourself a Spectra PRO. These cameras allow you to take I think up to 5 exposures on one photo. I hope this makes sense. If you need clarification I would be happy to try and answer any more questions. Happy shooting!
