Dude looks terrified. By people armed with iPhones. Abolish ICE and the Border Patrol. Save this man from his fear. Save the rest of us from his fear.

I miss chemistry sets. There ought to be a chemistry set for mixing up different film developers. Little bit of Metal, little bit of hydroquinone, really little bit of Phoenix one, big bottle of Sodium Sulfite…. (Goes to the Artcraft Chemicals site to see what he is missing….)

Cool story about a 66 year old guy who decides he wants to be a member of the local college's marching band. The college is LSU and the band is famously competitive, but he got on. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/46848389/lsu-band-kent-broussard-66-years-old-tuba

World’s Worst Trichrome I was going for Chad Hill and Andrew Keedle and brought back David Hockney instead. I thought I had the tripod locked down. Going to have to look at the head. Oh well. It’s interesting to post your failures. ONDU Eikan 4x5 […] [Original post on pixelfed.thereisnocat.com]

If the government actively trying to starve any of its citizens for any reason isn’t cause for revolution then what are we even doing?

Pizza for dinner

Okay, so just because it was from SuperSense, that doesn’t mean it’s from SuperSense, even if they sent it. Looks like they’re doing fulfillment for the Newlandcamera Integral Film Back for peel apart Polaroid cameras.

Took the ONDU Eikan 4x5 out this morning, along with some filters. There’s a trichrome hiding in here. Incidentally, I also got yet another object lesson in how large format punishes a lack of mindfulness. One of these sheets is severely overexposed because I forgot to close the shutter.

The only real analog I can think of to Elise Stefanik's decision to run for governor of New York in 2026 is Thích Quảng Đức, the buddhist monk who lit himself on fire at an intersection Saigon in 1963.

I’ve never seen someone try as hard as Trump to not feed hungry people.

Fuck Trump. $179 package from Austria (pretty sure it’s my 8x10 peel apart film from SuperSense) $50 to UPS to get them to deliver it; $36 in tariffs and a $14 service fee to UPS. Fuck Trump. Oh and fuck UPS too. I can’t wait until that motherfucker is out of office.

No Sunglasses Andy sans sunglasses this time. If I shot more portraits, I would use the Smartnon lens more. It worked pretty well in low light wide open I think. Smarflex 3445, Smartnon 178mm f/2.5 lens, Ilford HP5+ pushed two stops to EI 1600, Rodinal 1:50 for 24 minutes. #BelieveInFilm

Maybe I can find some time today to develop this….

Red Liberty Should have posted this yesterday in honor of Mamdani’s election as mayor of NYC. This was in a store in Grand Central Terminal where Laura bought herself a We Are Happy To Serve You coffee cup charm. Pentax 17, Kodacolor 200, ECN-2 development. #BelieveInFilm #halfframe

heyyyy the great @marisakabas.bsky.social has a new post - which includes one of my photos! i'm a grown up photojournalist now! www.thehandbasket.co/p/zohran-mam...

My eyes popped open…

Kiosk Too One thing I like about this is that it’s not just my wife wearing a mask in Grand Central Terminal; the cellist behind here is too, and there’s a guy way in the background with one on as well. New Yorkers get it. Pentax 17, Kodacolor 200, ECN-2 development. #BelieveInFilm #halfframe

Andy I spent last week in western Pennsylvania with a bunch of friends drinking and listening to distant radio stations with unusual antennas to try to hear stations we can’t usually hear. I brought my Smartflex with me and shot some portraits with […] [Original post on pixelfed.thereisnocat.com]

One of the most impressive things about Mamdani’s victory is how the campaign didn’t let up when it was clear he was going to win. They poured it on, kept running through the tape. Even if you disagree with his politics, you can learn something from his mobilization and GOTV efforts.

Brad Lander is at the victory party and, folks, he has the custom one-of-one “GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE” shirt.

THIS, so much this

Looks like AP called NJ Governor’s race for Sherrill about ten minutes ago. Nice change from four years ago when Ciattarelli came three points behind Phil Murphy.

I’m looking at where the votes counted in NJ Governor’s race have come from. The biggest source of Republican votes is Monmouth and Ocean counties, both of which have counted most of their votes already. Democratic counties have lots left to count. This could be a blowout.

I see Decision Desk HQ has called the NJ Governor’s race for Mikie Sherrill. Don’t see AP following suit yet, but it looks good so far.

Going through files I recorded in the shortwave pirate band Halloween night. Some stations ID with slow scan TV images like this one from WDOG on 6930 kHz at 0133 UTC on November 1st.

We voted this morning.

Kiosk All the ad kiosks in Grand Central Terminal were used to show photographs of New Yorkers rather than ads during the Dear New York exhibition. It’s remarkable to be in a public place with no advertising. And only three blocks from an ad agency […] [Original post on pixelfed.thereisnocat.com]

Great photo essay in Today’s Guardian www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

The man does not back down: Targeted by transphobic fear-mongering, he released videos about the LGBTQ community. Targeted by Islamophobic attacks, he released a video in Arabic. Targeted by red-scare tactics, he releases a video bathed in red light celebrating NYC socialist history—on election eve.

Seriously, watch this:

A vote for Cuomo is a vote for fascism.

Zebra Dry Plates has a blog post about someone who made photosensitive emulsion using silver cutlery and table salt. #BelieveInFilm #BelieveInChemistry https://zebradryplates.com/a-new-and-probably-the-cheapest-way-to-make-silver-gelatin-emulsion-elios-story-and-full-step-by-step-tutorial/

I know this isn’t the main point of the article, but he had to go back to 2006 to find an example of a conspiracy theory coming from the Left

Democrats have a chance here to do something hilarious. 1) Win the House and Senate; 2) Pack the Supreme Court, make DC and PR states, restrict so called second amendment rights; 3) Mske Republicans a permanent minority. I would laugh my ass off. Johnson has more faith in them than I do.

Satellite Lamp First four shots from the Charmera, showing the faux-1-bit modes.

I can’t believe how small this is.
