It's time. I was gifted a new darkroom setup today. Time to get some practice in. #believeinfilm

Once again, there's no way to discuss any potential uses for AI separate from the context of the technology being rooted in intellectual theft and pushed primarily by a growing fascist class as a way to put people out of work and control information narratives.

The easiest way to understand this is to read Executive Orders by Tom Clancy, because it outlines the Big Dumb Rich Guy™ perspective on how the government should be run by making Clancy's stand-in president without ever having had to run on his ideas.

The new Adam Savage "One Day Build" was shot with an old Arri on 35mm! It looks incredible. #believeinfilm www.youtube.com/watch?v=gK2x...

I have one roll of EIR--Ektachrome Infrared I'm going to shoot it this summer, maybe next week.

Spotted on a Robcdee streak from Tokyo from last night. Anyone know this guy? And I think that's a Fuji GX680, is that right? #believeinfilm

HOORAY FOR MY NICE TRANS FRIENDS!!!

The biggest source of my camera acquisition syndrome is actually not me thinking some piece of gear will magically make me a better photographer; it's me falling in love with some weird and cursed machine.

I like this one because the window was tinted three different colours, like a set of filters in real life. Hard to explain for someone who doesn't shoot film, but a little Easter egg for those in the know #believeinfilm

Protest pt 1 On May 29th, a protest was held downtown by the main library in Edmonton against the radical right-wing acts of the current government. I went along and got some photos. 📷 Leica M3 🗓️ May 2026 📍 Edmonton, AB 🎞️ Ilford HP5 #believeinfilm #yeg #photography

The film advance on my Nikon FM popped off in my bag and warped the spring. You know what has never given me a problem? My M3. I'm just using it now. No more faffing around.

I was in a constituency office when the pandemic started. You can't reason a person out of a position they didn't reason themselves into. It's Kierkegaard's impasse on a small scale. The only way you can deal with these guys is to flatly reject them. No argument. Disengage and deplatform.

First real bike ride for me today after getting better. I took my bike over to the protest at the Milner, then to the Patricia Street Deli and back to Whyte. Super nice ride. #yeg

My man Bumble’s M6 is not winding on, what are his options? #Leica #LeicaM6

in 1846 a group of pioneers became trapped in the snow. starving, delirious, and dying they were forced to consume the flesh of their fallen comrades, thinly shaved and warmed on vertical spits next to the campfire, served on a thin bread. that is why even today we know it as the döner pass

Gotta love a mirror selfie

I finally finished a roll of film today... and it turns out that the helicoid is still misaligned in my Olympus Trip 35. Sigh. I'm going back to using cameras I know work. I'm ready to be done this round of antibiotics, and back out shooting already.

The entire right wing narrative in western civ right now relies on people not actually knowing any trans folk because every one I’ve ever met and interacted with has been a good and lovely human. And they certainly are prominent growing demographic in photography, and we are better for it.

We had to cancel several times recently, so we were going for a ride tonight, rain or shine. It was rain. And it was awesome. First time going for a proper ride, on the rail trail, with the new road bike. #YeahBike

A little more than a month later, these headphones are still delighting me. I bought new pads and a fresh cable for them, and have been finding new detail and texture in revisiting some of my favourite albums. I hadn't expected them to make such a difference, but it's been a pleasant surprise.

I bet RFK Jr.'s mouth watered the first time he saw Grogu.

I will note that cameras that may fall under this category may not be shitty to you! I have the Canon G16 and despite the 12mp sensor, it's fantastic. I've used great soviet-era cameras that aren't shitty, either. Is a camera shitty? Like pornography; you know it when you see it.

Good thread. I occasionally see people with disabilities concerned about transportation for them with anti-car sentiment, but the whole point is to build a more accessible society. Like person-first language, we need to build people-first, inclusive cities.

I bought a Nikon 50mm f2.8 series e (that happened to have a Nikon EM attached) for $30CAD today, because I want a light camera I don't mind if I damage for riding around with. My custom panda Nikon FM fits that bill best But there's something really funny about putting it on the F2 #believeinfilm

Not to mention the gas prices, of course. We reveal the true costs of our society and built environment when we can no longer afford our cars.

New bike day thanks to @bikeedmonton.bsky.social (I have a helmet, just posing lol)

Ever since I started blocking people who completely limit interaction on here, the quality of my feed has improved dramatically. Highly recommend.

It's gloomy so it's an LX sort of day #believeinfilm #pentax

Shitty cameras hmm... Shitty cameras I have owned, certainly. But are any of them shitty enough? #shittycamerachallenge

Well, that makes three EMS calls I've either had to make, or been a part of since the beginning of the year. Walking everywhere means you see more of it, I guess. #yeg

My new photo zine. 🥳 Focused on images taken in my local woodlands. All images created using film. 🎞️ Available to purchase - £9 UK / £13 Europe / £15 N.America / £16 Aus/NZ. (Includes postage.) DM if interested. #believeinfilm #photozine #eppingforest

I think some local chains have started to pipe in AI generated background music. It's just the most generic elevator music I've ever heard, so it's got me wondering...

I went to the Bike Swap here in Edmonton last week to try and buy a bicycle, but I was getting sick, the line was in the sun and was absolutely not moving, so I had to leave. Now I want to buy one, but I'm concerned about stolen bikes. I don't want to buy new, either. (cont.) #yeg

Looks like the Olympus OM-1 has some shutter capping starting at 1/250th. In fact, looking at 1/500th and 1/1000th, those don't even open... Ho hum. #believeinfilm

Ahh, two hundred Schottky diodes! time to start adapting voltages. #believeinfilm

And the funny thing is that this is known stuff that was (I contest) intentionally forgotten. If you want to build a movement, you need to also boost your team. I've been part of movements that collapsed because the leader wasn't willing to share the spotlight
