In which there’s film! I follow a bunch of photography folk on bsky, because not only are cameras cool, posts about enjoying analog hobbies are much more nourishing than the goddamn inescapable political doomscroll. (At this point, if I could not know about DOGE or P25 or this idiotic venal disgusting fucking war, or, indeed, […]
In which I bought an instant camera I don’t need but have coveted for years! It’s here! Good job hitting that 8PM delivery time, USPS! (I don’t know why you offer 8PM delivery, but you do, so, well done.) I already own instant cameras, of course, classic Polaroids of various models, but peel-apart film no […]
In which my favorite camera is now basically useless. I haven’t been shooting film much since I moved out here, but no worries: take the camera out of the box, put in some fresh film, maybe a battery, and go shoot. Your cameras are already antiques; they won’t mind if you let them rest for […]
In which it’s a lazy Sunday. It’s so shitty outside there’s a heat warning on! Stay inside, stay hydrated, check on your neighbors, that sort of thing! Temperature in the mid-90’s with a heat index of one hundred degrees! A big-ass line of storms tonight! Large hail possible! So I’m staying inside with the A/C […]
In which there’s a video. Apropos of nothing is this amazing Polaroid video! Don’t even get me started on the soundtrack. It’s, like, Star Trek-er-iffic.
In which there’s a whole new type of Polaroid in my collection! This camera takes a kind of film that is no longer being made, the remainder of which is all expired and which costs between $2 and $7 per shot. So naturally, I shot an entire pack of it in the bar last night.
In which Charlie just ups and gives me a whole entire box of old cameras. So this happened yesterday: That’s four Polaroids! And a Kodak! And three packs of Spectra! OMFG!
In which I tell you all I know about the Polaroid SX-70! I have two SX-70s. One is a lovely silver and leather top-shelf SLR, and the other is a black plastic Model 3 (the non-SLR model). I’m lucky in that I got them both really cheap, and they both function beautifully and close completely. […]
In which I tell you about the gifts I received. For Christmas I got a Kindle gift certificate (yay moar ebooks!), a red goblet, candy (some of it filled with tequila, I kid you not!), a hand-made tote bag, cash, and a little herb garden kit. I really wanna buy myself some sort of shiny […]
In which there was culture! But it was pretty redneck, so not really. Saturday night, Left Coast Girlie and I went to see a play at Fort Walla Walla, which is an outdoor amphitheater near the local museum. The play was Taming of the Shrew, which I wanted to see because I played Kate in […]
