"So this is where I'm going to pull my Polaroid image apart, and see all that in there? That's the nasty stuff. I'm not wearing gloves but I'm going to make sure I wash my hands as soon as I get my hands free. So now, I got a copy of what my original was okay? Now you would say, well what's he going to do with this? Why is he doing that? That's a great question! Because, this image later on, we're actually going to boil off and we're going to put on water color paper. I might pick another one but I think we're going to do this one. And, now I'm going to show you on another image how we're going to do a wet Polaroid transfer which gives a very painterly, very one of a kind look to something. So I'm going to start preparing that next. So first I just wanted you to see how this machine works. Now is where you can really let your imagination go crazy and that's what I'm going to go do."
