One of the ol' hacienda in Mexico. Taken with the Mamiya 7 and Ektar 100.

Here is the Hansa 69 ii. Good news is it looks in good shape. Bad news is 45 can only be used straight on at infinity.

Trying to bring some warmth to the timeline since it's so cold. Taken with the Minolta Alpha 7 and the 35-70 on Portra 160.

Ran across this old meme when I was searching through old photos yesterday. Made me laugh, which I needed.

When it rains it pours. Below is a Shirom 69, a camera I sold about eight years ago when I was even dumber than I am now. For the past few years I've been looking for a replacement and found one today. Will it work with the 45mm? We'll see. But, a heckuva a lot cheaper than the Ebonies.

Took this in Lima Peru! It was the one time I didn't take my film camera out with me, so it's off my Pixel.

Say what? (Story is paywalled, but you get the idea.) www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Voila!

What's in the box, I wonder?

A colour study of Red ♥️ on #35mmfilm

Some of the doors of Merida, Mexico. Taken on Portra 160, Gold and Velvia. All with the Minolta.

11 years today.

Posting a car picture I took.

Inspired by @taylorbright.bsky.social’s Beetles thread, here’s one of my fave photos I’ve ever taken. 2009 Yashica D Fuji Velvia, expired in 1999, cross-processed

Congrats, @paulasmith.co.uk!

I toyed with converting this to B&W, but will roll with the original on Ektar. My expired Reala shots here looked very expired. Mamiya 7 and the 43mm.

I'll add another #fridayfavourites for #2025fave. @ilfordphoto.com Delta 100 with a red filter on the Mamiya 7.

A contribution here for Ilford's #fridayfavourites #2025fave on Delta 100 with a red filter.

Here's one from a working hacienda - Sotuta de Peon - on expired Reala and the Mamiya 7. I do it all for the vibes.

A picture on the beach in Celestun, Mexico. Kodak Gold is really earning its name here, but I thought it looked old-timey and didn't correct it. Taken with the Minolta.

Gonna celebrate my birthday with a favorite from my trip with the Mamiya 7.

What’s your favorite photo you took 2025?

You didn't think I was going to pass up a classic car parked in front of no-parking signs, did you? Taken on Portra 160.

Was kicking myself for using a roll of Portra 160 around Merida and then I got this Velvia pic back and was like, well, not a huge difference in a lot of these scenes.

The way these old Latin American cities are set up you wind up with a lot of door and wall pictures. This is Portra 160 and the Minolta.

I found some Beetles after some searching. Might as well start a thread tonight with the first one. HP5 and the Mamiya.

Iglesias de Santiago Apostal in Merida, Mexico. HP5 and Mamiya 7. This was through the bars of the metal fence, though, someone came and opened the gates as I taking another picture.

This was my last picture on the trip - with my tripod in the middle of the street at some ungodly hour with the local patrol looking at me like a harmless gringo madman. Taken with the Mamiya 7 and HP5 and cropped into a panoramic.

Another picture from Uxmal in Mexico. Taken on Delta 100 with the Mamiya 7 and 150mm.

Got some pictures back from Mexico. This one is at Uxmal, the Mayan city. Used a Mamiya 7, 43mm and red filter.

Thank the lord someone bought that Ebony camera.

When you can't afford the best, but don't want the worst.

Another one for the #shittycamerachallenge. Made this B&W from the Sony Cybershot (7 MP, in case anyone needed a reminder.) Let's just say it's not the most conducive to night-time photography.

Shout out to my Emulsive Santa who brought the heat this year!

Officially back from the cleaners. Took a bit of work to get it in my hands, but knowing how much they're going for, I'm now going to build a special room for it.

My hot take for today is, did Alice in Chains ever have a perfect album?

One for the #shittycamerachallenge with a Sony Cybershot rocking 7mps.

Tally for the trip. Time to ship.

Back in the United States and regular life. At least I'll always have this.

Last picture of the trip with some HP5.

Merry Christmas! Final night here and had to go Beetle searching with the Mamiya.

Beercan activated today with some flamingos.

May have brought Leica R and Zeiss lenses, but this little dude is putting in some work.

Some times you have to break out the fine China and good silver.

Walking around with the Mamiya this morning.

Out and about this morning in Mexico.

Too much for a week?

My 80mm is still getting super cleaned so it looks like I'm going with the 150mm (and 43).

Still got some Velvia pictures. Zeiss and Maxxum combo.

Sony Cybershot at the Cullman Christkindlmarkt yesterday.
