Aaron had a blast serving as a judge for the Fool’s 48 Short Film Project hosted by the Vermillion Cultural Association! Congratulations to all the teams! #vermcult #fools48 #shortfilm #sodak #vermillionsd

This bad selfie was taken by the goofball in the lower right corner as a way to document photographer Aaron C Packard in his beret before he heads inside the Coyote Twin movie theater in Vermillion, South Dakota.

Taken within the Coyote Twin movie theater, this photo shows the screen bearing a large “Thank You” message above the winning short film teams.

A huge nerd uses their right hand to point to a glitter-encrusted Tyrannosaurus rex toy, which is balanced on top of the box of a Hogla Sparkle 35mm camera.

In front of a black background, a pair of hands hold up the box of a new Holga Sparkle 35mm camera for the glory of a tiny Tyrannosaurus rex toy dinosaur that has been coated in silver glitter.

With how much work Aaron put into printing these bags, it would be foolish for him to give them away whenever someone buys film or orders prints at Fotolab No.7. (Get yours the next time you’re in Vermillion, SD before he wises up! Ha!) #fotolabno7 #squeegee #silkscreen #vermillionsd #southdakota

Description: A photograph of a big, cheesy, red paper heart with a message that reads, “We can’t PICTURE Valentine’s Day without you!” The heart is held by a gleeful goofball on the right side of the composition, and on the left side a laughing photographer hides behind a camera.

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

A screenshot from a video documents South Dakota’s only Marilyn Monroe impersonator hamming it up behind a microphone wearing a white dress.

This screenshot features not just any ol’ dashing pirate, but it’s The Dashing Pirate, who smirks behind a microphone whilst wearing a gray waistcoat and toasting the audience.

In this screenshot, there’s an overly dramatic Marilyn Monroe impersonator, dressed in a white summer dress along with knee-high socks because it’s cold in South Dakota during the winter. She’s posed with arms over head in front of a screen which reads, “Cee Cee’s Cocktail Lounge - Est. 2022 - Open Mic Cabaret.”

A screenshot from a video recorded within Cee Cee’s Cocktail Lounge in Vermillion, SD, which documents the amazing audience seated as a Marilyn Monroe impersonator acknowledges the audience with a sweeping gesture with her right hand.
